Kind cool to see what a lightbulb does when stuck in a microwave. Not sure why it gets so bright.
Microwave radiation creates a plasma in the argon inside the bulb, which emits light.

yeah, cut a grape in half, across the middle, but leave it joined together with a small bit of skin, then put it in microwave, with the two halves next to each other and the flat surface facing upwards, then close door and turn microwave on, will only take a few seconds 
hope i explained that
