I want to make sure that the sand I use to fill my speaker stands is nice and dry.  So, uh, did I actually just ask my wife if she would mind if I use the oven to dry out some sand?  Yes, in fact, I did.  Now, she is unable to stop laughing.
BTW The speakers are just about broken in, and my impression is, of course, extremely favorable.  I can post more detail under the customer review thread later, I just thought the sand thing was funny.
