        That's the least of his problems: first he has to get his orbits right to retrieve the satellites.

          I'm sure Laptops from 2002 were way too big to fit in a microwave.

              Well, I guess it's better than cementing your head in a microwave[^] for a YouTube "prank".

                :doh:

                What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

                    So long as the microwave is from the 2002 era, everything should be fine.
