So, what about a collection to purchase Martha a microwave for her Vanagon, provided that it's available for periodic grape races??? _______________________________________________________________________________ This sounds like a perfect straight line to introduce MICROWAVE GRAPE RACING! Take a plate or other dish with a smooth surface, put a little film of vegetable oil on it for lubrication. mark parallel lines for start and finish. Put it in the microwave. Each drive chooses a grape and places it on the starting line, with the hole where the stem was pointing *away* from the finish. Clsoe the door and nuke the grapes for a few minutes. As the grape juice begins to boil, a jet of steam will come out the stem-hole and you will have ROCKET PROPELLED GRAPES!
