@carrickdb I think this guy went for 66:66, because he was playing Quake and 6:66 was a more Quake-y number. It was a LOOONG time. From what I read many microwaves have a maximum timeout though, usually an hour?

One of my all time favorite early internet stories is from shacknews: some guy was playing Quake online and set up a microwave burrito between rounds.. but accidentally keyed in an extra timer digit. He forgot about it, then smelled burning..
