Microwaves Slowing Down Time

Oke, not a news article or anything, and I have no scientific proof, but it seems to me that when the microwave is in use, time slows down.

Even if I'm not thinking about it, time will seem to go noticeably slower.

Anyone else experience this?

My advice: do not stare at clocks, ever.

You're right - due to the number of microwaves operating simultaniously iall over the world, time has ground to a halt.

"A watched kettle never boils."
The phenomenon applies to lots of things...

I notice this phenomenon when I am filling my glass with water from the refrigerator door dispenser--it seems to take forever.

time only slows down if you sit and watch food turning , the radiation screws with your perceptions

Yeah, when you finish a two hour exam in thirty minutes, never stare at your digital watch and help it count to sixty every minute for an hour and a half...

Yeah...not thinking about it means not watching the clock or anything.

@Curdis: He was talking about smoking pot.

@Tony: Do not smoke pot while in a microwave. Actually, don't ever get in a microwave.
