    Why don't you people just ride in with a dry change of cycle kit in your bag? It's hardly rocket science.

    Damn you, you left-brained logical thinking freak!

    Interesting thing to do is cut several grapes almost in half (old ones that have started to dry out work better), then carefully place them in the microwave & put it on full.
    If it doesn't work very well you end up with lots of sparks, if it works well you end up with glowing clouds of plasma floating to the ceiling of your microwave.

    Best performed with student hall microwaves....

    Put a burning match into a microwave machine and you'll get plasma balls.

    Dunno about clothing, but I know that if you put an old school filament lightbulb (not sure about the energy saving bulbs) into half a cup of water, with the connection side in the water and the glass bulb out of the water, and then put the cup containing the water and the light bulb in the microwave, the bulb will light up.

    Works perfectly well without the water too...

    I WAS going to suggest wrapping the wet clothes around a warm object and passing cool air over them...

    I've done it with socks but didn't do them for long stretches. I think it was something like 3 30 second blasts and took them out between blasts as I heard/read that the socks could fall apart if cooked for too long. I read that you can also get free airtime on your mobilephone if you put that in the microwave too.
    Its also possible, theoretically, to cut your toenails with a scythe.

    Don't tell him that, DDD will post one morning that he lost a toe cutting his toe nails :lol:
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Best stand back a bit well.
