@Ulagatin: You can't use just any kind of rubber chicken to answers questions in physics. It must be a http://www.miwiki.net/Rubber_chicken_with_a_pulley_in_the_middle".

It's getting hot here. Why hasn't no one yet come up with a "microwave freezer"?

Because there hasn't been a need to freeze microwaves.

Why isn't there a relativity theory for time dilation that occurs during a vacation? Time drags before your vacation and then goes at light speed during your vacation - then it drags again.

Why are spiders obsessed with bath tubs?
 
That's because there's an attractive force between spiders and bath tubs the solution to which is equal to proof of the Riemann hypothesis. Spiders, in both their real and imaginary parts, are drawn to bath tubs with a nonconservative force the magnitude of which, given in furlongs/fortnight^2, is equal to ζ(s), where s is the spider function as referred to in the 1883 issue of the Journal of the Slovenian Philological Society.

Why do spiders have an imaginary component?
