Interestingly, "ridiculous" is not in the list of 100 Most Often Misspelled Words, but "misspelled" is.

However, you would have to work extremely hard for a microwave oven to burn you, there are three interlock switches on the door to prevent it operating with the door open, and even a one inch hole through the glass door and metal grill only leaks a very small amount, well under UK limits, and even under USA limts (the USA limit is 1/10th the UK limit 0.5mW as opposed to 5mW). As ovens are obviously made to one standard, this means that the UK limit is very rarely approached!.
I realize all that but it still cooks primarily by exciting the water molecules first, so you'd be getting cooked from the inside out.... basically. RF burns from hi-pwr transmitters do the same. Either experience would suck! I was speaking of an experimenter that has the magnetron and pwr. supply removed from the protective housing in the oven. Setting everything up on a tabletop would shower him with beaming microwaves unless he underwent serious protective measures.


As for the Myth Busters, dinner is possible but more likely to be not... and that depends when they arrive. However, I'm confident that I can meet with them for a few minutes backstage. I should photocopy a life-sized image of Adams face, cut out the eyeball, attach a rubberband to it and wear it as a mask while I meet him!! He'd prolly like that trick. Here's a photo of Adam and that hot little assistant Kari. I'd like to overclock her processor!

Assuming this is a serious question?, it's a magnetron - and you DON'T want one!.

That's interesting, the bulb looks like some sort of gas discharge unit. I actually think this might be being done in a perfectly safe mannor, if fine wire mesh shields are place over sensitive parts of the body and the magnetron is only pulsed on for 100ms or so when the picture is taken he wouldn't have been hurt.

Urban Legend or not but when microwave ovens were first introduced they had these rather clumsy locking handles on them that were a hassle to operate. Supposedly, a bar-owner (tender?) decided he would just cut a hole in the front door and use that to get at the items more efficiently. The legend went something like he has to get his hand amputated.

You can often make things fool proof but never damn fool proof.
