Doing that little project brought back a painful memory from my youth: Microwaves were relatively new and I was somewhat naive as to their properties. Anyhow, I needed some boiled eggs for something and after peeling 4 of them, decided they weren't quite boiled enough. A little soft. Ah Ha!! I thought, I'll just nuke 'em for a bit. Just a few seconds, what could it hurt. I opened the door and the eggs looked just fine. I bent down and reached in with my left hand, and the eggs blew up. Kapow!! Scared the beejeezus out of me. When I jumped back my shirt caught on the hook on the door and yanked the microwave enough to knock the full sugar bowl off and break it on the kitchen floor. I staggered back and had to clean boiled/nuked egg out from behind my eyelids. I'm really glad nobody was watching..... arno
