And, if you do do something idiotic like putting a dry sponge in the microwave and turning it on, don’t send an email to Reuters complaining that it’s their fault that you set the sponge on fire, smoked up your house, ruined your microwave, and pissed you off.
Oh, and in case any of you have been living in a cave for the past 20 years, don’t put sponges with metal in them in the microwave.
No wonder fighting ignorance is taking longer than we thought…
And don’t forget: After spending two minutes being microwaved, sponges tend to be damn hot.
What? Microwaves make things hot?
Man. They should put some kind of warning on them about that. A guy could get hurt! :smack:
My high school science teacher used to pass out a mimeographed fact sheet at the start of each semester, with little gems like “Check to make sure the microscope is PLUGGED IN before asking me what’s wrong with it” and “Hot glass looks EXACTLY the same as cold glass”. This guy was not only smart, but wise.
When I first heard about the sponge thing (probably something I read) in my mind I imagined myself wetting the sponge and putting it in the microwave. I never even ocurred to me to put it in there dry.
Well, maybe I am smarter than the average bear afterall.
