Historical Thursday: The Theatrophone
May. 26, 2011
For this month’s final Historical Thursday, we’re going to discuss a similar topic as last week; mind-boggling inventions that are decades ahead of their time. Recently, an article has been making it’s way around the tubes that delves into the history of how people could enjoy live music without being anywhere near it. While we might have found it revolutionary that we can listen to music on our phones, it turns out this is no where near a recent invention. 19th century Paris was jamming out to tunes over a handset with a fantastic device called the Theatrophone.

Alright guys, I need your help on this one. Not quite sure this picture 100% fits this site, but you’re a smart bunch so I figured I’d ask your opinion.
What in the name of Odin is going on here? What liquid could that be? Is it helping the cup stick to the top or is that something to do with the microwave? I’ve been staring at this for half an hour and I’m still baffled. Let me know in the comments!
UPDATE: Here’s what the community came up with:
Most Logical
According to joey bloggs:
-> Person intends to heat beverage in container.
-> Person fears spillage due to boiling.
-> Person props something under the container, so that it is pressed to the microwave ceiling
-> Person turns on microwave.
-> Beverage heats up and expands.
-> Beverage spills.
-> Person is shocked and turns off the microwave.
-> Beverage cools and shrinks.
-> Vacuum of beverage sucks it to the ceiling.
-> Person removes stuff below container.
-> Realizes this is odd/funny and takes a picture to post on the internet.
Conspiracy Theory

Upside-down photo, upside-down microwave and glass, frozen glass contents.
Funniest
P.D.’s take:
My best guess that they created some substance that gains anti-gravity powers when microwaved.
And Last But Not Least: the supposed real answer, from the Reddit source.
This was fun! Let’s hope another noodle scratcher comes along soon.
