I just went to re-heat some of my let over dinner in the microwave I opened the door to the nuker and a fly that had gotten into my house flew in there so I was feeling a bit sadistic so I shut the door on the nuker cranked up the power to the max set the time for 1:45 and let her rip.
I'm standing there watch this fucker fly around the nuker as it's trying to cook the fucker and then the time clicked off I opened the door to the nuker and the little bastard was still buzzing around unharmed.
All in all I grabed to little magotty bastard and threw it outside.
What the hell if the fucker could sand to take a microwave bath and live though it I guess it desevred to live.
Tough mother fucker that fly is.

Well once a nuclear war has been started we`ll know what will survive the blast.

I hope that fly bites me so I can have its super-powers.

Flies do not bite or sting.

Well maybe this thing was a mutant and it does bite people and turns them into half man half maggot like monsters
hehehe

Stop watching sci-fi for a week or two time,its screwes-up your perception of reality.

Hell I have not watched any SF for two and a half months now and I guess I'm back to what passes for normal in this world

OK let me guess what you say is normal in your world: Giant ants cutting people in half,spiders catching helicopters in their web,goldfish swallowing submarines and birds craping 5 tons of bird crap on cars.

...possibly he's joking...actually it's pretty likely I think.

It can clean off irradiated shit on you, though.

Hmm.... I'm no real expert on microwaves, but I suppose part of the reason lies in the way the microwaves bounce around inside. (Keep in mind that the following does not lie with someone that throughly studies and designs microwaves, but merely observes what goes on when he heats his food and attempts to explain it. If I get something wrong, correct me.)

When a microwave oven uses microwaves, it doesn't simply flood the entire interior with uniform microwaves. Rather, it seems to go around in set paths, probably similar to a bonucing laser beam than a floodlight, or at the very least definiate paths of high intensity vs low intensity. (Incidently, this would also explain a bit why we have microwaves with those spinning things at the bottom - to help distrubute the heat, something we don't see in more coventional ovens for the most part.) Occasinally, something that I notice the most when defrosting meat, and with rather unlucking positioning, some areas of the food will be cooked while the other parts are frozen. Most of the foods that go well in microwaves should distribute the heat a bit.

What I suspect what happened with the fly is that it simply was able to stay out of the 'hot spots', possibly by luck or the extremely good reaction times that having your brain a fraction of an inch away from the rest of your body will do.

In any case, I don't think that your case is too uncommon. I've seen a cockroach survive a microwave, once...

I've performed experiments on various insects in microwaves and found that flies and bees died very quickly and very easily under microwave bombardment. However, earwigs are tough motherfuckers, and can withstand extended microwave bombardment before succumbing.

Of course, in my case, I limited the insect's ability to avoid hotspots in the microwave by imprisoning it in a small glass yogourt jar, which I placed in the centre of the microwave. This reduced the variability of the microwave bombardment.

Ah, so that's what it takes to get a degree in Canada...

Torturing small animals is a warning sign of serial killer potential. I'll be watching you all, very closely.

I learned that a late 1980s Chrysler ignition system was quite powerful enough to literally fry a 1.5cm fly even with a very short zap. Got probably a 3cm arc, too. It was stuck on its back on a metal bench, and I was working on a benched ignition system, and inspiration struck.

Thank God for auto shop teachers.

Cockroaches for nuclear proliferation.

I love the way you make it sound all scientific

LT. Hit-Man is already watching you, no doubt. He defines pyscho nutcase

Me myself put various objects in the microwave. i put eggs, hot dogs, whatever i could to see what i does in a microwave. Even pulled the old trick with the GI joe man

The nastiest thing in a nuker by far would have to be packets of mayo...

Wow, you are going to wake up one morning to the sound of a mutant 6 foot tall fly trying to break down your door and seek revenge.

I don't know I did horrbile things to the cockroaches when I was in college, I even beat up that little weasal Gregor Samsa.....

lmfao.. Mike you are my personal hero. ^___^
