Reminds me of the time I fell in the water while duck hunting. Soaked my wallet. I first tried putting the cash in the microwave to dry it. It came out toasty warm and perfectly dry.

Then I put the whole wallet in. Fried it. My credit cards were reduced to little lumps.

Yep, microwaves just love little magnetic conductive strips.

Damn doc, I'd have to think pretty hard to top that. However, a microwave has some real good uses in a medical practice. I use it to warm towels to use to wrap animals coming out from under anesthesia. Learned by trial and error that 10 seconds is the best....20 seconds is a fire with a mess. I use it also to warm fluids, leave it in for 45 seconds per litre, no longer. Any longer melts the plastic or explodes the fluids and makes a mess....also warm the fluids without the IV set...the metal in the drip makes for a few sparks. Also, whole blood in the microwave is another story....

Anything I want to dry quickly, I lay on the floor in front of the refrigerator. Every time it runs, it blows nice warm air out the front bottom. Great for drying the insides of boots, shoes, and gloves.

I've got to ask. Why did you try to dry your credit cards? Couldn't you have just wiped them off?
