I know that I do. I have ALWAYS wanted to do it.
Microwave weird stuff. Like crayons. Or gum. Or a football or glue or soap!!!
I have always wanted to do it. But I can’t. You see, I don’t have a scientific research grant where I can do all sorts of dumb and wacky stuff and get PAID for it.
So… it’s VERY COOL when I find someone else who has done it and puts it on the web for all to enjoy, too! This is a fun site and I love the name: Easy Mac Micro Maniac. Doesn’t that SO sound like it’s from a scientific research grant?! The creme de la creme was when they tried Christmas lights. OH MY GOSH THAT IS SO COOL!!!
I am definitely going to try this, whenever I get a new microwave and can use my old one as a lab rat. Or, in case I ever get one of those nifty scientific research grants. ;)
I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.

My kids love to microwave Ivory soap. It is fun, science, easy to clean up, and the house smells fresh afterward. We then recycle the soap and make Oatmeal Soap.

Ok, that does sound irresistable. Now I want to find weird stuff to nuke!

I have just now realized how much fun I’m missing in life. I had no idea! I spend so much time trying to keep my husband in line. He used to be a chem-E and when we were dating his room mate was and electrical engineer and between the two of them they could reap all kinds of havoc on a small rental apartment, with a gas stove, a cabinet full of cleaning products, a spice rack, and an old television.
