A friend told me that Wal-Mart used to carry a really cheap brand of microwave.  With a little modification, and some guts, you could swap some wires on the inside and use the microwave to block out Wi-Fi signals.  

Now THAT'S a Firewall!:lol:

TechTV's Screen Savers mentioned that this was one of the many ways to destroy CD's, along with thier other new gadgets that they showed off.   though the one that looks and functions like an ice crusher, that one is cool.

Try the grape thing.  Now that's a particularly peculiar effect.

A Sky One show called Brainiac: Science Abuse ran a regular feature entitled 'things not to put in a microwave'. Items included a baloon of propane and oxygen with a metal spoon taped to it...

There was a guy on The Forum who made a microwave death ray that could destroy electronics from a few hundred yards and injure people at short ranges.

I have about 100 of those microwaves compact discs hanging around my room.  Good use for those "Free AOL" discs.

This site must have jinxed my Microwave. Cause sticking a pizza in, leaves the pizza cold, yet makes the whole top of the micro catch fire.

Wait a minute... NOW I GOT A MICRO I CAN USE FOR EXPERIMENTS!!! :D

If I didn't have to pay for the replacement, I'd be so so tempted to go start making ball lightning :)
