non-food things in the microwave

daOK, I was curious. So I just googled around. Yes, lots of pages suggest it's fine to put staples in microwaves. Mostly recipes. But this guy says otherwise, and I believe him because his page is called "UNWISE MICROWAVE OVEN EXPERIMENTS." Oh, and he's an electrical engineer and he wraps his explanations on microwave ball-lightning and explosions in very expert-sounding detail. Fascinating site.
Anyway, he says stapled paper bags in microwaves cause fires. So that's it for me.
...To follow up something else![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bats22 told me recently, ivory soap has interesting properties in the microwave. You end up with a big puffy thing that hardens, and is still soap.
I'm so going to try that.

Peep Jousts and Ivory Soap all sound delightful, and I can hardly wait for my next trip to the store.
However, you won't catch me putting staples in those puppies, either. I learned my lesson with the baby bottle and pennies.
