Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, paid me a visit. I mentioned that I had recently installed Windows on my PC, told him how happy I was with this operating system and showed him the Windows CD. To my astonishment and distress he threw it into my micro-wave oven and turned it on.

I was upset because the CD had become precious to me, but he said "Do not worry, it is unharmed." After a few minutes he took the CD out, gave it to me and said "Take a close look at it."

To my surprise the CD was quite cold and it seemed to have become thicker and heavier than before. At first I could not see anything, but on the inner edge of the central hole I saw an inscription, in lines finer than anything I have ever seen before. The inscription shone piercingly bright, and yet remote, as if out of a great depth.

One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them."

Put a CD in a microwave and it sparks due to all of the little pits on the surface reflecting the waves.

Put a grape in the microwave and it produces plasma

Now you must set out on quest to the gates of microsoft, to destroy the CD where it was forged! But you must watch out! Bill Gates sees all in Microsoft, he will be watching you, and whatever you do, don't put the CD in your CD rom, It will alert Bill of your presence!

Part of solving the problem is actually noticing that the problem is there in the first place

My friend who is an electrical nerd, said that him and his dad were working on a tv or something, and that they don't know how they did it, but they created plasma, and it sort of shot around the room, he is probably pulling my leg, kind of like the time he said he kept a stock on TNT in his fridge.

Err hate to break it to you all but plasma (although incredably hot - full of energy), it fails to keep it's energy. The torus things they use to make plasma have magnetic shielding, but they don't need it.

I guess the old proverb rings true:

I'll bet Napa Valley will become a military hotspot over the next few decades j/k of course

After december 26, I will be Mr. Underhill again.
