When you put a CD in the microwave a marvelous thing occurs.  The CD pops and sparks because of the metal in it.  It is truly amazing.  Now you can have your very own microwaved CDR.  I have one taped to my wall.  It is a beautiful piece of art.  You can be like me for a low, low price and you can avoid the horrible smell that happens when you put CD's in the microwave.  You can check out more fun art projects at Driven By Boredom.
