CD

Has anyone here ever microwaved a CD? I've been having problems with my burner lately so it keeps spitting out coasters. Rather than breaking them and then spend the next two years finding CD parts I microwave them. Put then into the microwave (silver side up) and cook for 3 seconds.

When you get done with them it's like art and they all come out different. It is quite neat. A friend of mine told me about this and I must say it kicks a little ass.

OK that's the stupid microwave trick of the day.

Don't forget to watch. The disc crackles and pops and spits out little bursts of sparks. Tons o' fun.

MY FRIEND AND I USED TO DO THIS ALL OF THE TIME EXCEPT THAT WE WOULD PUT THEM IN FOR TEN SECONDS. LIFE'S NOT WORTH LIVING IF YOU DON'T LIVE IT ON THE EDGE. WE WOULD THEM PUT THREE OR FOUR BLACK CAT FIRECRACKERS INTO THE HOLE OF THE DISC. WE WOULD ADD A LONGER FUSE TO THEM, AND THROW THE DISC AS WE LIT THE FUSE. GOOD TIME FOR ALL. WE WOULD EVEN DROP FIRECRACKES DOWN PEOPLE'S DRINKING STRAWS IF THEY SAT THEIR DRINK DOWN IN FRONT OF ONE OF US.
