Microwaved Intelligence

So, Nic was making himself some food just now, so naturally he was cooking it in the microwave. After turning it on, I suddenly noticed that a pod of whales had come to our apartment. Only it wasn't a pod of whales, it was the microwave.

I'm pretty sure there is something seriously wrong with the microwave, since most appliances aren't supposed to sound like aquatic mammals. We've known for a while that our microwave has problems and is possibly making us sterile, but this is the first time it's tried to communicate.

We figure the microwave irradiated itself long enough to gain sentience. Our next task is to try to understand it well enough to communicate back. I'm going to watch Finding Nemo to brush up on my whale.
