Avid commenter and alias-changer Fabian takes center stage this morning for yet another weekly edition of “Words For Your Enjoyment”!

Yeah, yeah — she put her cat in the microwave.
I’m getting a little sick and tired of the same old refurbished urban legends. From cats in microwaves to Pop Rocks and Coca Cola in your stomach to the guy with the hook for a hand scaring macking teenagers in cars in the wild to that Bill Gates e-mail everyone is so fond of.

That is, until now.
When I was a kid, one of my jobs was to load up the dishwasher with dirty dishes and silverware, then unload the damn thing when it was done. Hell, to this day I’m still doing the same thing but without the motherly evil-eye staring down at me from 3+ feet above. But as a kid, there was one very important piece of information that was imparted upon my tiny, strange little skull.
