No, didnt think so. Good Jake. *pats you on the head*

Hehehe, if i remember corretly, something else to put in your microwave oven was Steel wool


EDIT: Hehe... Talking about superheating, and supercooling... Found this:
QUOTE
Carton of eggs
[DANGER!]The eggs all heat up, and go superheated. This means that they are above the boiling point of water, but the strength of the eggshells holds them together - till one bursts, and the water inside instantly and all at once converts to steam. This smallish explosion naturally detonates all the other super-critical eggs. The result is the blowing off of the door, and the coating of the surroundings in egg spludge.

Just like to make it clear that NOTHING mentioned in this thread should be done at home. VERY dangerous.
Empty sig is empty.

Don't put Twinkies in the microwave...
They pulsate and the cream separates.
Potatoes kind of are like eggs if you don't poke a hole in them... And jawbreakers... Anything sealed like that I guess.

Note 1: The physics of a micro deal with mixing up the molecules in an object using radiation to make friction, which in turn creates heat.
Note 2: Heat expands.
Note 3: When heat is trapped, it makes whatever's holding it expand.
Note 4: When something isn't supposed to expand, it usually does anyway.
Note 5: That way usually isn't pleasant.
Note 6: Examples of unpleasant ones are: Eggs, potatoes, cats, turkey, nuggets, mousse, tinfoil (ELEKTRIX!), and my personal favorite; marshmallows.
Note 7: Microwaved sponges are funny.
Note 8: I did all of the above.
Note 9: Except for the cat.

HI! I'M BACK SPORADICALLY! Nobody probably remembers me :(

a good one is a bar of soap it looks really kool and guess wat no mess cuz its soap so put sum like uncovered chili in your microwabe let it go pop then put soap it will expand then clean......then eat chili if u dont like chili use sumthing saucy of tht sort

QUOTE(Excerpt from New Scientist)
Soon afterwards it struck him that he might be able to create ice at room temperature by squashing water into a solid. So he spent the next six years trying to do it with water and other liquids. Klein could create solids out of most liquids, but water is no ordinary liquid. While most substances are denser in their solid forms than as liquids, ice is peculiar. Icebergs and ice cubes float because they are less dense than water, taking up more space after freezing than before. Eventually he realised that by packing the water molecules into a tight space he was actively suppressing freezing. So he gave up.
Klein, it seems, had missed one crucial ingredient for making room-temperature ice - an electric field. But just as he was abandoning the project, the hunt was taken up by biophysicists Ronen Zangi and Alan Mark, then at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. In 2003, they set up computer simulations to see just what would happen to trapped water when an electric field was thrown into the mix.
Because the two hydrogen atoms in a water molecule carry a slight positive charge, and the oxygen atom a slight negative charge, adding an electric field can flip the haphazard arrangement of molecules, making them line up like soldiers. Zangi and Mark's simulations revealed that this alignment provides enough order for the water to solidify, freezing into what is known as polar cubic ice even at room temperature.
