Microwave water that you've boiled already. I think that's the trick. Microwave it to get it to above the boiling point. Then disturb it slightly, and watch as superheated water explodes violently from the container.


Note - do not actually do this unless you enjoy serious burns. :p

Has anyone ever jousted peeps? You just get two peeps (actual chick shaped ones) stick a toothpick in each and put them in the microwave facing eachother with the toothpicks touching. Turn n the microwave and they joust. It is pretty entertaining... esp when they explode!

My ex-boss microwaved a piece of his car's tail pipe. Also his watch due to moisture build up. He got rid of the moisture..... and also his watch. No kidding.
