Oh no, I do not take it personally. I just wish he would see fit to brighten my day... or at least my fridge.:p

Just one of dem days? [haha]

Sorry, made me "randomly" think of this for some reason... :eek:

Probably dating myself a bit as it at first seemed like this song only came out a few years ago, but then I realized it must have been in the '90s and that a "few years" was actually a couple of decades.

...also might explain why I wrote "personal."

I can't believe what has just happened....

I've been chosen...
Too many 'you's and not enough 'thou's
11/10
Would pray again
(+rep for effort) :)

The bulb is ( and always was) fine.
The spring in the door switch is gummed up. Probably grainy mustard. Took 2 years to decay and lose viscosity because it's cold in the fridge.
Turned religious misguidedness into one of those lateral thinking exercises. Awesome!
 
I have a funny feeling that instead of replacing the bulb, he took it to an engineer... and rolled microwave emissions as the special... After opening the fridge one too many times after, Brain cooked.... Sanity gone :D

My dad was one of the first microwave engineers in the country and he used to get support phone calls occasionally from people before the dangers of microwaves were well known. This guy on the phone explained that he worked in a very busy restaurant, and what they'd done in the kitchen was they'd taken all of the doors off the microwaves and bypassed the safety switch so they could speed up the process of cooking food (not having to waste valuable seconds opening and closing the doors). Well anyway, this guy was on the phone and the conversation went something like this:

Chef: "Well I'm looking inside the microwave right now and it looks fine..."
Dad: "You've got your head inside the microwave and it's turned on?"
Chef: "Yeah."
Dad: "...how are you alive?"

...well it turned out that this bloke was wearing a big gold medallion which was absorbing all of the radiation. :D True story apparently.

*DISCLAIMER* Don't try taking the door off your microwave at home, wearing a big gold medallion, sticking your head inside it and turning it on to see if you'll survive.

My refrigerator light has been out for about a year and three quarters, do you think you could wave a hand and give it a blessing or something? I really don't want to change it out. I don't even remember where in the fridge it is anymore..

And distort the Universal Field of Probability? His Blessed's Aura of Accidental Generosity?

Have you learned nothing?

I would have thought if RNGesus had made the light work, he would also have added a random microwave function that heats the food as you take it out...

Edit: Or a nice kinetic effect to blow your food across the room into the Wife-stroid...

We can't ask for too much all at once, though, can we? After all I only have half a fish in there.

I checked for mustard and one of those disgusting dry broccoli stems that always falls out of the bag of frozen broccoli and ends up RNGesus knows where before you have a free hand to grab it and throw it away. No obstructions. Several carefully aimed finger-pokes have confirmed that the switch is indeed at full switchy-ness and no mechanical failure in the apparatus was involved.

ALL HAIL RNGESUS!

So how long until non-RNG dependent shipyards get suicide bombed and people flying stock ships get stoned to death in the streets? :)

Err.... Today? Why should we wait?

I wish, do you know how much time I could have saved frying eggs by now?
 

I'm certainly not recommending it either, of course, but depending on the specifics, there likely wasn't really all that much risk of death here, unless the person was very adamant about it. "Leave me in longer, boys. I'm still too rare." :D Going blind is a bit higher up on the likely risks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_burn The chain/gold medallion itself likely didn't play all that much of a significant role here, unless it happened to be part of a chainmail suit.

I've done more things with microwaves than I might care to admit, though fortunately without having suffered any ill effects... that I know of. ;)

Well, story was mainly to amuse rather than educate, but yeah. Interesting :cool:
