    Why is someone microwaving dinnerware?

    No one puts utensils in microwaves. At least I don’t.

    I have my doubts about time travel.

    Knives, forks, and spoons are fun, but the most entertaining are CDs or DVDs. Pop one you want to destroy into your microwave for 3-5 seconds. You’ll jump the first time you see it. (No, it won’t harm your microwave as long as you limit your experiments to a few seconds.)

    Spoons have smooth surfaces, nothing to spark off of but the handle. I had a boss who was clueless (redundant statement), who put one of those Chinese rice containers with the metal handle into a microwave. OMG! Fourth of July! He stared at it in confusion(normal state). LOL!

    Traveling into the future is so easy anyone can do it; going into the past, well, that’s another story.

    He aged 0.02 seconds less than the rest of us while he orbited the Earth because time for him was a little bit slower than it was for the rest of us.

    This information is good, should you wish to ruin your microwave quickly or drag it out.

    And WHY, pray tell, would we put silverware into the microwave? Even if it didn’t spark? I mean, there’s no need to cook or re-heat it. And it would also get very hot and you wouldn’t be able to hold it.

    I remember on Jeopardy when it was stated that the theme was written because they needed a 15 second audible timer.

    I thought it was from a nursery rhyme—-I’m a Little Teapot. “Tip me over, pour me out” at the end.

    traveling into the future is easy, let me know when someone goes even a millisecond into the past, THAT’S impressive.

    I always feel like most people are several seconds ahead of me when I hear a joke.

    All those who have spent time in earth orbit have traveled faster in time, than those who have remained on earth do to the reduced effect of gravity on time space.

    If that’s a realistic picture, Sergei can have a place in my future anytime! “Come and keep your comrade warm…” (Back in the USSR, the Beatles.)
