For Ripley's "Believe it or Not": I met someone the other day who did not know that the best way to cook bacon was in the microwave. I was trying to figure out why she thought the device had been invented in the first place. If they ever start giving Nobel prizes for things that are REALLY important, not all the pure science stuff, surely the microwave oven will lead the list -- or as it was originally known, the "Amana Radar Range".
