This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------1080B378933DDB059E4242C6 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I suppose it is all right wave a book carefully on low power to see if it works, but for myself, I will never do it again. In the middle 70's I was operating by rumor on anything to do with microwave ovens, but I figured since they didn't brown things, it might be cool to dry out a book in the microwave... after all, we've all dried out the Sunday paper in the oven, right? I put a wet book, rescued from a puddle, in the microwave and sat down around the corner in the teacher's lounge. About five minutes later, there was a KA-WHOOMP and I hurried back to find my book in flames and the microwave oven broken. I am sorry to say I would have probably gotten rid of the evidence and sneaked out, but there were OTHER PEOPLE in the lounge. I told my principal, James LaVois, that I had broken the microwave and would be glad to, gulp, pay for its repair or replacement. He tried to hide a grin when he asked me just exactly HOW did the thing get broken. The story must have been good enough to make him let me off the hook because I did not have to make good on my promise. I never microwaved another book, but did you know that it is NOT TRUE that you can hard boil an egg in the microwave if you poke a little hole in the shell?
