Eheheh

I have experienced first hand why not to put aluminum in the microwave.
I wanted to heat up water for hot chocolate but I used an aluminum cup. All the advice of DO NOT PUT ALUMINUM IN THE MICROWAVE EVER flew out of my head. So I set the timer for 2:20 minutes and left the room. I came back about a minute later and saw through the window-thing that the bottom of the cup was spurting fire (the cup had a rubber base). I freaked and hit the open button on the microwave and threw water inside it. That made it hiss like crazy. Then I got an oven mit and took out the completely black cup and put it in the sink. The microwave was totalled. Everything was black or gray. My dad came in saying that he smelled something and then said that I ruined the microwave and towed me out of the room. He took the microwave up to the garage. When he came back he closed the kitchen doors and told me not to go in there because there were now poisonous gasses that would kill anyone that inhaled them too long.

First thing I said to my mom when she came home: "Don't go in the kitchen." She spazzed and started yelling and then my dad started yelling too so I sneaked off to watch Spirited Away.
