[[File:G80 - NTCL2 - Meatballs Entering the Microwave.jpg|thumb|The culinary artist [[Arnie]] prepares a new batch of [[Arnie's meatballs|meatballs]] before [[Centuri]] {{G80|The Night the Cylons Landed, Part II}}.]]
The '''microwave''' is an Earth culinary preparation device for the heating of food or drink.


Unbeknownst to both the Earthlings and their [[Galactican|distant brothers]], the microwave is an effective means of disabling [[Centurion (1980)|Centurions]].
[[File:Meatballs.jpg|thumb|The culinary artist [[Arnie]] discusses the preparation of his meatballs with the prophet [[Norman]], who warns the {{TOS|Cylons}} of the harbinger they wrought.]]


In one known instance, [[Arnie]] uses his apartment microwave to heat up a new batch of his infamous [[Arnie's meatballs|meatballs]]. In doing so, [[Centuri]] succumbs to the affects of the microwave's emissions, and causes a commotion that summons [[Andromus]].
'''Arnie's meatballs''' are an [[Earth (1980)|Earth]] culinary delicacy of ill-repute.  


Andromus deftly dispatches the microwave with the energy weapon imbued into his hand, destroying the microwave and resulting in the mass exodus due to the resultant fire―initially believed by [[Norman Blore]] to be gunpowder mixed inside of Arnie's special delicacy {{G80|The Night the Cylons Landed, Part II}}.  
According to [[Norman]], an oracle of humorously grave disposition, he reproached these "meatballs" as obstructing the digestive tracts of humans: in front of two {{TOS|Cylons}}, no less {{G80|The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I}}.


{{#widget:Video|id=KIs1Ar2hj}}  
These meatballs are the labor of love of a human named [[Arnie]], taking an hour and a half to prepare properly {{G80|The Night the Cylons Landed, Part II}}. They are then typically shoved down the throats of unsuspecting victims during festivities, such as [[w:Halloween|Halloween]].

Coupled with the "romantic malnutrition" of [[Mildred]], those between these two dangers will have the "night of their life".

== Notes ==
The personification of these meatballs is a human baseball player named [[w:Vida Blue|Vida Blue]], who exerts a similar influence during his time with the [[w:San Francisco Giants|San Francisco Giants]] baseball team in the 1980s {{G80|The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I}}.
 
* The microwave used in the [[Arnie's meatballs|meatball]] incident is a Whirlpool REM 7200.
* In close-ups, the Whirlpool label is removed, revealing a [[JCPenney]] logo underneath it.
