This is a pretty interesting study for a 3rd grade science project.

While they are only eight year olds,  I would be tempted to fail this group
for sloppy research, sloppy science, and false representation of bullshit as
science .   Magnetrons deliver microwave radiation.  How many in the present
illustrious company believe microwaves can remove one flavor from food and
insert another,  let alone being able to do so without creating overcooked
mush?

Interestingly such a machine could not be marketed, because everyone would
be demanding refunds when it failed to work.   OTOE you could get away with
selling such rubbish as a cure for cancer even though it is equally unlikely
to work and also has never been shown to work.   Odd, isn't it?

PM,

and learning
more about Cancer treatments?

I don't know -- I assume it is some sort of newsgroup relay.

It is strange Peter, it doesn't always happen that way--just wanted to
make sure
no one was breaking into your computer like mine has been broken
into.

Is there a herb you can take for paranoia?

If Dr Moran's (*) computer has been hacked, it was by someone who
talks just as much sense as he does.

(*) I refer to him as "Dr Moran" here because he is a real doctor and
that sort of thing matters in this forum. In real life I would address
him as "Mr Moran" because that is the conventional way of speaking to
a surgeon in this part of the world.

PS. What do you take for kleptomania?

I'm not paranoid in the slightest......the beauty of it all--is the
knowing, and messing with
those that are snooping.  I have  started emailing people that I never
emailed before, and
discussing all sorts of things that may or may not be true, same with
telephone calls---
when you know you are being eavesdropped upon -- screwing with other
peoples heads is
such a wonderful experience.  Pretty sad when individuals are so
paranoid that they have to
know what people are writing about or talking about....or who is
visiting-----LOL

I'm not paranoid in the slightest----there are apparently others that
are.....
