2. lol i just had a funny (or not) thought

can u imagine who came up with the name "refrigerator?" I bet it was kind of weird back in the day.

that would be like naming the microwave, the "reheaterator"

(yes i am retarded) :)

edit: in honor of SPK, i will from now on refer to the microwave in all posts as the "reheaterator"
