Speed of light in the microwave

My teacher occasionally allows students to do extra credit work for the class. These usually involve them researching a topic we discussed in class. Recently students were asked to research how scientists measure or calculate the speed of light. One student turned in his answer but also found this in his search and turned it in because he thought it was awesome. I too think it is incredibly cool! I passed it on to the Physics teacher, who was talking to the principle at the time. Our principle is a former Biology teacher and he thought it was cool. I figured you all might find it ridiculous awesomsauce too!

It looks like melted marshmallows are in my future!
