----------
The Flux Cap is the most important part of a microwave. Most people think that
a microwave simply cooks food faster. This is of course false since many people
will watch a microwave while it cooks and we all know the theory about a watched
pot. A microwave cooks food very slowly and then sends it back in time to a point
a few minutes after you put it in. This is why you should never leave food in
a microwave to long. If you do it will get sent back TWICE and begin compounding.
The result will be an explosion of whatever you were cooking.  You can easily
test the time transfer ability of your microwave by placing your wristwatch in
it and setting it to INCINERATE. Remove it one hour later and you will notice
that your watch no longer has the correct time.
