    Students at Uni oved to put a four liter wine cask in one, set it on high for as long as possible and then walk away.

    But the question was asked why do brides always were white.

    The answer is quite simple, al kitchen appliances come in white.

    Says he ducking for cover.

    The true story is that it was invented utterly by accident one fateful day more than
    70 years ago, when a Raytheon engineer named Percy Spencer was testing a military
    -grade magnetron and suddenly realised his snack had melted.

    Think what got melted was his chocolate bar.

    #24, thanks john for those kind words of support they are much appreciated, we just have to carry on and do the best we can under the circumstances. Rgds Den

    PS, we RO's were slow on the up take about microwave cookers, I used to disconnect the waveguid connection and boil my cup of water to make my brew of tea. we were always warned never to look down the waveguid when fault finding usually it was water ingress causing TX problems. Den

    Correct Victoria. I used them to relieve the pain of a frozen shoulder. Popped a pair in the microwave,forgot about them. After the smoke alarm was turned off I was confronted with what resembled a couple of incinerated chapatties.
