Service with a Magnetron

![]() |
This week back in 1945, Percy Lebaron Spencer, an engineer at Raytheon working on RADAR filed a patent based on something funny happening in his pants. While standing too close to a test magnetron (the high powered vacuum tube that generates microwaves core to RADAR), a candy bar residing in Spencer's pocket started to melt. He took notice, tried popping some corn and frying an egg next and ding! a world with Hot Pockets and Act II--not to mentioned several urban legends about cats, poodles, and babies suffering at the hands of elderly ladies and stoned babysitters. Point is, Whether it's a canary in a coal mine or an altered candy bar in your pants, this week has omens galore. As such members, pay attention to what's being served up as done.
