Now thats style (skimpy breakfast though!). How do you like your eggs? Intel, over-easy, 800mhz?

I remember back in the day when I was a young h4x0r,  wrappin teh hotdogs in aluminum foil & cooking them on the pavement during a scorching summer day. Then getting Mama ^C to nuke them for me because they were still fackin' cold!

I have seen that before, I'm pretty sure that I can do that with my computers, the heatsinks alone get up to about 130 to 140 degrees.

Wouldn't that DESTROY the egg and the majority of the tray?

Naah. Aluminum foil can stand several hundred degrees. And you just have to watch the egg, to keep it from burning.
