Because when you press 100 you are actually pressing 1 hour and 00 seconds.

I think that its actually 1:00, one minute rather than 100.:)Quote:

That's because you are using an imperial microwave. Buy a new metric one.Quote:

So 90 degrees will no longer be a right angle, what is a metric right angle???
25-50 or 100:rolleyes:

Iain, I think that 100 = 180; 50 = 90; 25 = 45, etc....:rolleyes:

Gumby, I heard it was 2010, because they are afraid it may cause a problem setting the clocks New Years eve!...:rolleyes: Unless they start making wrist watchs now in 2010 we may all be carrying a microwave strapped to our wrist's just incase someone ask's us "Excuse me!, have you got the correct time?..". to which you tell them the correct time, and they say "damd!, my microwave must be slow, again!" :D :D :D
