Another tale of the creation of the microwave was this:
In the early days when man was still trying to think of useful applications
for microwave technology there was a scientist who liked to bring a lunch
to work. One day he placed his lunch in front of a machine in
the morning and in the afternoon returned to find it quite heated. Eventually
he put 2 and 2 together and realized what was happening. Thus,
the concept of the microwave was born.
