     My roommate (Jeff Cox, you out there?!) at Ga Tech tried to hard boil
an egg in our microwave, and opened the door just as the egg exploded.  A
wall of atomized egg came flying out, leaving a stenciled pattern of Jeff
Cox on the wall behind him.  Absolutely hilarious.  Eggs do not like 
microwaves.
