Talk Microwave destruction

HI guys,
My old microwave was slowly loosing power(11 yrs old) and the final thing was it caused interference throughout the house.
So I have decided to blow it up ! I plan to run a long HD ext cord out in my back yard and microwave some things. Eggs is all I have come up with so far so I'm looking for suggestions from all the responsible, mature folks out there for the biggest bang for my buck.
I'll post a pic of the results.

I've thought about it and am going to do it in an empty dumpster, I work in the construction industry and have access to many dumpsters. the 1/4" plate should be enough.

Place two grapes side by side, make sure they touch, and microwave them. You should see sparks in the area where they touch, nothing more should happen.

Try microwaving CD's.

Or fax paper.

WARNING: Playing with the microwave and dangerous objects is life threatening!

big sheet of 1/2 inch plexiglass and a camcorder could make a heck of a clip to post take the door off and put something in the hole to bypass

There are some really big strong magnets inside on the magnetron but be sure not to get zapped by the capacitor if you open it up.
