This is cool. It sounds to me as if the grape is acting as an antenna and
the microwave power is large enough to cause a pot. difference large enough

|| OK. Explain this one. I cut a green grape in half,

|| grape in the
|| microwave
|| for about 10-15 seconds. Low and Behold! SPARKS!
|| What's going
|| on?????!!
||
|| I wonder how it works with red grapes? My wife
