Two of my joys in life (other than robotic stuff, of course):
This afternoon, I tossed a small group of chocolate chips into a near empty plastic jar of peanut butter. No problem so far, right?
Then I set the microwave power to "5", then I set the timer for twenty seconds, closed the door and started microwaving.
Almost instantly, I saw a big flash of light and flames, from inside the microwave!!!
The tiny sliver of aluminum foil was left over, residing at the top of the jar, which was never fully removed when the peanut butter jar had been opened. Just that little, tiny sliver of aluminum was enough to create such a disaster in the microwave oven. Amazing - scary.
I just don't want any of my friends - or Whit - to encounter anything dangerous like this.
And, let's face it, sometimes I get a bit carried away with levity, but this incident was NOT an April fool's joke.
Happy microcontrolling,

(2. You say "my friends - or Whit - " are you saying that Whit is seperate from your friends???
(3. I wanted to thank you for using a part slang of my name, microcontrolled, in the phrase "Happy Microcontrolling". Since this resembles my name so, I will have to start using it.

Pi aren't squared, pi are round. Cornbread are squared!
