Anyone have a working URL for the plasmoid ball? I missed that one, but recently tested out the "grape in the microwave" experiment, and found it to be quite impressive. Take a seedless grape, and slice it in half (down what could be considered the equator of the grape.) Leave a centimeter or so of skin connecting the two halves. Dab off any excess juice with a towel. Place sliced-side down on a plate. Put in the microwave and nuke on high for 10-15 seconds. (I tried this in my girlfriend's microwave. It appears to still function properly.)
