As an additional benefit, all that messing around with microwaves means that Mrs Fred is unlikely to be bothered with any further pregnancies in future. Not that that was ever likely to be an issue with you and Gretchen, of course...

And here I spent a portion of my weekend trying to hook up a light bulb to a nine volt battery for my elder son's science fair project. I thought I was genius. I stand in awe.

Fred better not be doing the nasty with Gretchen. Or me. 'Course, I think I'd notice the latter.

Sherman, it just mean that you need to consume more whiskey. The opportunities just present themselves. As long as no responsible adults are about, that is.

No I hadn't Matt, but we had some fun last Thursday eveing with them. Coincidentally, the cleaners ruined another microwave that evening. Bastards!

Dr. E.: Details?? What'd you try? What were the results? More importantly, where are the posted videos? I have several excess microwave ovens, acquired for free, in which I have tried a number of things. The ball lightning/fire was pretty fun.

Yack, but the last time I played with the innards of a cooking apparatus it ended far less ebbuliently, and I can't even frickin' spell it.
Scientists. Bah!
