No, that would make it far worse. It's not the trick itself I'm worried about. It's Mrs Ixion. If you have ever seen Mrs Ixion when I meddle with her kitchen gear, you would understand what I'm talking about. WMD's are not in comparison. And being pissed would make it worse.

Like I said.
Tell her you've got something impressive you want to show her

Cool trick eh? Showed the boys at work that trick one day. Took the lightbulb out of the socket in the smoko room- chucked it in the micro wave in my coffee cup with water- bulb lights up- "oooo, ahhhh", everyone is most amazed- I put the bulb back where it belongs- turn around to make my coffee- POP!!- light bulb falls out of socket and explodes on floor- I am so cool

Ah , I used that line on our wedding night. I fear a repetition would cuase her to expect further disappointment

Yeah this is a great trick... done it before with lightbulbs/water etc. If you dont use water the plasma that builds up (orangy blob) will melt the bulb through. Bright white light is filiament properly combusting from memory.

CD's are reaallly good fun too.. crackle and make a great smell. Do it when the wife will be away for a couple of hours so you can air out the house.

Found this in my bookmark trove:
These guys explain it all... http://www.powerlabs.org/uwavexp.htm...l%20Lightning:

edit... pyrocam/whoever... put it in a PLASTIC container with a lid.. one of the ones you freese stuff with that are see-through. Put water in and leave one side of the lid off so if something somehow pops it wont have a second pressure holding container. This way the bulb is completely submerged and the glass will not crack or get heat spots. They probably say this on the site but.. yeah, works well and lasts for ages. Neon light sticks are good too.

Stick a ping pong ball in the microwave on high and stand back.
We did.....door flung open in a ball of flames.

lol. awesome ideas

I like the idea of a completly submerged bulb.

btw guys. after doing this trick. DO NOT PUT THE LIGHT BULB BACK IN THE SOCKET with out drying it really well first.

Hillarity ensues

Someone once told me that if you shove a fly in the microwave it will happily buzz around for a few seconds then SPLAT! Not sure if it's true, never tried.
