I get free microwave popcorn here at work. I have calculated it takes 2:20 (minutes:seconds) to pop a bag of popcorn to get the maximum kernel pops without burning. Do you concur?

How many bags did you pop to arrive at your conclusion? If you pop it are you required to eat it? paranoid.gif

Over the 2.5 years I have been here I believe I have eaten just over 200 bags of popcorn. I arrived at my conclusion after testing about 30 bags of popcorn by examining them and taking an estimate of how many kernels are left and taken careful size measurements of the burnt area on the paper. It doesn't matter what kind of quality or manufacturer the popcorn comes from. Do you concur?

It all depends on the microwave you're using. I've had some microwaves pop a bag in 2.5 mins and some take almost 5 mins. However, I do not own a microwave and I pop popcorn in my stirfry pan on the stove. Did it just this afternoon, as a matter of fact! Works awesome and I get very few kernels unpopped.

Somewhere in that post there is a link to high altitude flatulance. Hold the popcorn please! clown.gif I have never made that calulation as I always dial extension 314. The person as x314 pops popcorn for me. All unpopped kernels are removed from the bag. Here are some others: x316 Crumpets and tea x317 Chair adjustment x318 Move mouse on mouse pad x319 Telephone assistant

Wellsir, here's phenomenon of the same sort, only different. Is it freakish that Track #11 of the last 3 CD's I've listened to are my favorite tracks? Do you concur?

Oddly enough, Track #3 has been my favorite of the last 11 CDs I've listened to! suuure.gif

I work at Boeing eastside, and the microwave there pops a nearly perfect bag, with about 15 kernels unpopped, in 1:50. I put one of my music CDs in the microwave, and ruined track #11.

More folks with waaaay too much time on their hands. You all need to get out more and take a hike. winksmile.gif NN

It's pretty safe to say that if we take all of man kinds accumulated knowledge, we still don't know everything. So, I hope you understand why I don't believe you know everything. But then again, maybe you do.

It is interesting to note that 11 in the binary number system is 3 in the decimal system. This is the prime reason to concur. The c in cd is the 3rd letter in the alphabet. That is all I have to say. hurl.gif

11 is also the number of beers in a twelve-pack if you drink one. That's spooky.

Elleven is also the first three syllabus in Leavenworthless. But calling it 11worth is irresponcible.

Wenatchee calling it 11worth is irrlyresponsible. How about just 11$ and reduce it to mereCash? Ya Blewitt man. Waterville happen to you now I can't say but Peshastin for it? K? Trinity a blanket or something at the 59er Recliner instead of minomering all the towns. burger.gif drink.gif
