Posted on January 16th, 2002 in my ramblings.
I guess this really doesn’t reflect well on my fellow students, but some
of this stuff is too good to pass up. Let’s have a lesson in microwave
safety:
<![CDATA[

ACTION: Guelph Fire and University Police attended. Damage
caused by activating empty microwave.

People: microwaves are capable of concentrating a large amount of
microwave energe in order to heat things. If you don’t put something in
the microwave to be heated, then when you turn it on, it will start
heating itself. In case you haven’t noticed, most microwaves are not made
out of a metal alloy with a high melting point. Plastic burns. Thus
endeth the lesson.
