    I hate to burst your bubble but thats really dangerous!

    The dye in the cd = very toxic!

    Plus lightning in my microwave wouldnt go down well with mums.

    Still cool tho!

    <i>Caution! be ready to stop the oven when the CD-ROM starts to smoke. The smoke smells bad, and is probably bad for you.</i>

    His keen powers of deduction amaze me.

    Some people just have too much time on their hands.

    Like me, for example. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Or anyone that has more than 700 posts since the release date <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I want to get a stack of old CDs, throw them all in there, and see what happens. And yes I will let the smoke dispurse first...

    You can also do he same thing with glass, just get some water boiling, put a piece of glass in it for a few minutes. Then remove the glass and quickly put it under some cold water, it expands and retracts so fast it breaks itself into a cool fractal design. My mother wasn't too happy after I discovered this though <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    And be careful, the glass breaks really easy afterwards.

    It is possibly fatal.. perhaps you should try something less destructive, such as the simple beauty of the Origami Boulder.

    Aluminum and plastic fumes are VERY bad for you. They kill a fair amount of brain cells and could possibly leave you dead. I suggest NO ONE tries this. Of course, you can do it anyway... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    *Posts the crazy things i have done*

    Blow torch + AOL CD's = fun
    Gas + Styrofoam = Intresting goo to go on AOL CD's... Dont get it on ure body (its a pain in the *** to get off)

    Spray bottle with gas + matches = Pyromaniac fun, if done right you can make pretty good size fireballs, done it to show off and havent got burned (or burned anything down)... yet
    *Spray some gas on a open cemented driveway, light it then spray gas right above it, you can move around and keep a fireball goin with you. just dont do it in the wind or your a burning man.

    Old spraypaint can + bonfire = b00m.
    Threw a old can (which was full) of spray paint into a bonfire, 30-45 seconds later it exploded(looked like a pipebomb going off) with the bottom part of the can flying out of the fire coming with in 3 feet of me. (i was around 40-50 feet from the bonfire) It sounded like a 10 gauge shotgun.

    Oh boy I done a lot of crazy stuff...

    If you have any brains whatsoever do not try this at home.

    Once, one of my friends holograms baseball cards got wet and he needed to dry them. So he stuck one in the Microwave an set it for like one minute. After a second or so sparks started shooting off the hologram surface.... looked really cool.


    Also, Another friend told me:

    -Take an ordinary grape.
    -Cut it in half so that only a small peice of skin is connecting the two halves.
    -Put it on a plate and put it in the microwave.
    -set the timer for like i think 10 secs.
    -watch the grape burst into flames that reach to the top of even big microwaves.
    -The flames go out when you turn the Microwave off.

    **I haven't tried this yet so do it at your own risk**
