Took six marines to stop me from burying my screw driver in the chest of the asshole that thought it would be cute to push the radiate button. I remember hearing the story of an Air Force tech working on a 30' radar dish. For some dumb reason, someone energized it and promptly microwaved him to death. Some of these stories are hair rasing... and I'm too much of a weenie to stick my tongue on a 9V battery... A Raytheon corporate legend is that one of the engineers discovered the microwave oven principle when a radar melted a chocolate bar in his shirt pocket. |
