I went to microwave some pie with iced cream on it.

And I just received an email letting me know that pie and iced cream is not good in excess. And the email also criticized my clothing choices.

Does this mean that the microwave somehow knows what I put in it?

And this is a true story (I kid you not). About three weeks ago, I was stuck in some work with a tight deadline and finding it impossible to concentrate: there was all kinds of crazy news going on, and frequent emails about sick relatives coming in, etc.. My head was in a total muddle. I thought to myself: it's 10:30 am, I can't concentrate, and I didn't have any breakfast. Maybe I should try to calm my nerves by making a bowl of oatmeal.

So I measure a third cup of McCann's Irish into a glass bowl and add the milk and pop it in the microwave. And then I punch in ... the security code to my iPhone! I swear this is true. Fortunately, as I was about to push the start button I saw this crazy amount of time on the display, hit myself in the head, and reset the thing for a minute and fifteen seconds.

This story got a lot of laughs when I told it to various family members. Now I'm afraid my microwave knows how to hack my iPhone!
