Is it a good or stupid idea to put a highlighter in the microwave?

You may need to take the scientific approach and try it out. Before you do that I think you should determine these two things: you no longer need the marker; you no longer need the microwave. Add a pair of safety goggles, and I think you're good to go.

Right now, it's hypothesis. If you follow the correct procedures, then it's not stupid. Unless you need your microwave.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
