Of course they're stupid, and known to have a water fight, take a
ahower, study for a test, and go to sleep between the time they start
the microwave and the time they turn it off.

Extra vigilence is recommended if you try a different quantity or brand
of popcorn, or a different microwave from one you are used to for
microwaving popcorn.
