Why does most of the stuff on the "Do Not Attempt" list involve microwaves? I stuck in a hamburger wrapped in aluminum foil once (yeah, I know, I know, but the wrapper looked like paper, I swear!) and it looked like a lightning storm was going in there. But it was awesome. Oh! Oh! And try sticking marshmellow peeps in there, too! I got only got to do it once when I was 9.

Jamey and Adam did that on "Mythbusters", to prove once and for all that a microwave WILL NOT EXPLODE if you put metal in there. They got no reaction at all from eating utensils, or from a smooth piece of foil, but when they crumbled it up, Oh boy! It CAN, given enough time, damage the magnetron in the oven, but it will just stop working, not blow up. It was fun to watch, though!
