Partly correct.

I believe the guy put his chocolate bar in his pocket while he was working next to a transmitter (experimental vacuum tube he was trying to invent) that was transmitting microwaves .. short short wavelength radio waves transmitted at super high frequencies. It may have been an active radio, but it wasn't radioactive. This was way back in like 1950 or something, and I don't think a tunnel was involved :)
 
I wasn't sure myself, just partly made up but the chocolate meltdown in his front chest pocket was the true fact of the invention. But yes, minty, your explaination just refreshed my memory and is correct.
 
my parent raise in 1970's and my parent graduate in 1970's one each years of my mom graduate in 1976 and my dad in 1971 if im correct or im mistake on my dad's graduate years.

im sure they have no things include:
computers
mircowaves
television
everythings!!!!!!!!!!

Cool :) I was thinking about looking it up, but I don't wanna miss the debates coming up tonight. Maybe later.

I think I'd be willing to live with the problems and technological limitations of the late 70s if it would mean living without today's problems.
 
i gotta to give a credit to that inventer who made the microwave to make successful in future and it did.
