Up late? Hungry?
In the mood for a sausage? Here ya go, these Russian IT guys have the answer for you. Take a look. I especially like the usage of the LEDs to indicate progress...

I'm always in the mood for a sausage.
*waggles eyebrows*




Why don't they just buy a microwave?

Because
they're in Russia. Apparently sand is considered a delicacy by some there.

Sucks to be them, eh?

Bloody Russians.
I guess it's better they eat sand than each other.

So...
if they're dropping 219V across the sausage, they've connected each LED across quite a large voltage. Admittedly, the sausage represents quite a large series resistance, which will limit the forward current, but surely there's also the maximum reverse voltage to consider.
