Found it! Measure The Speed of Light With Chocolate and A Microwave. I prefer a telescope and clock. Less messy.

However, messy is fun sometimes.

Contrary to normal practice I clicked on a link and checked it out, namely the one wherein it is proclaimed that the speed of light can be measured with a microwave and chocolate. There the following proposition is made:

"The speed of light is equal to the wavelength multiplied by the frequency of an electromagnetic wave (microwaves and visible light are both examples of electromagnetic waves)."

How can the unenlightened, ignorant, religious, superstitious masses so intent on the destruction of science verify this proposition? More importantly, for how many billions of years has this little experiment been performed and verified? Enough to certify a 4.5 billion year old earth as immutable fact?

Please give citations, and be sure to avoid dodging the question lest your truthfulness be called into question. (Not that it matters, since we're all a bunch of undesigned, unintelligent molecules anyway.)

Nice. Sort of like using three polarized sun glasses to demonstrate quantum mechanics.
