There was this one episode of Mythbusters where Jamie took four of the units that make the microwaves out of microwaves and put all four into a microwave of his own. He then put a glass of water in it and turned it on for a minute. When they measured the temperature afterwards, it was 2 or so degrees colder than before. Question is: why the hell did this happen?
