I was late for work this morning, because I got stuck in Zeno's paradox

Not only is it possible (I've done it many times myself), it is much cheaper and healthier. You don't have to use a brown paper bag, you can use any microwaveable container,  just keep a lid on it else thepopcorn will go flying all over the inside of your microwave.
