Amazing

It amazes me that we as a society have made a device that cooks something to perfection at the push of a button. The microwave oven is pre-programmed to cook popcorn at precisely the right amount of time to pop pretty much every kernel of popcorn in a predetermined sized bag. There is even a button for hotdogs. I am pretty eager to try that. I wonder if our ancestors would be proud or pissed if they knew we developed this technology. "Are you F-ing serious?! You have developed a device to make something so hot so fast!? You bastards! You should be cooking everything! Never eat a raw thing again!" Followed with, "Why is it still cold in the middle?"

Microwaves

I don't know about anybody else but if I stand in front of a microwave for more than ten seconds I get chills. I feel that breeze and automatically think radiation. Like when someone sneezes near you, you wait a second, hold your breath and then get the chills a little bit knowing that a whole load of bacteria just got in your general area. I feel the same way standing in front of the microwave as I count down the last 6 seconds of popcorn to pop.
