How the fuck is this possible?

Are you sure it wasn't a cockroach? Those fuckers will survive the nuclear war!!

I can't see how an ant would survive, I as a young child set many ablaze with a magnifying glass!!

microwave beams arn't solid throughout the microwave- they are like beams - the ant was small enought to get lucky and missed the beams.

Scroll towards the highlighted text at the bottom.

well then in that case, show no mercy and do it again.

you can also put aluminum foil in the microwave. just learned that last week. read it in some health magazine.

maybe ants bodies are high in aluminum?

I put that fucker down for 3 minutes on High... he dodged that shit for 3 minutes??

too funny.

put the ant on a revolving dish in the microwave - easier to fri him like that cause he would then move about and get caught in more beams

You are not to bright are you

"Message: Microwaves of a domestic oven can kill insects, bugs, bacteria, virus etc. or not? (this has nothing to do with microwaves ovens in use in some post offices, according to news papers). Just reporting an item on the radio in Central Europe. "Somebody has put an ant in a microwave oven and the ant survived; It walked through the cold spots of the bouncing waves inside the oven cavity. Clearly, insects (not only an ant but also a fly and subsequenty a mosquito was tested) can detect microwaves and they now how to survive in electromagnetic radiation". Microwave insect and bug control - a new research fields? The oven is clearly not a good insect control instrument. Better tools have to be developped. "

yeah scotch tape one of his legs down.

Umm go put some aluminum foil on your microwave. Hold your face up to the glass while you watch.

now that was the first neat scientific fact ive ever learned from GFY thank you.

obviously you arn't.

I thought you weren't suppose to put any sort of metals etc in the microwave??WTF?!


3 mins and nothing? Do it again!!

it's true... but not for all models... only the newer ones. I could put my entire silverware tray in mine and nothing would happen.

Why is it when you put a potato in the microwave, the bottom portion of that potato gets hard as a rock?

I once knew a sick fuck that stuck his ex-gf's cat in the microwave for 5 seconds. He said he didnt want to kill it..just fuck it up a little.

lol, I thoughtlessly placed a BK burger with aluminum foil wrapping in the microwave, and next thing I know, the thing was on fire.

The little guy probably thought he owed you some money... like he was in a tanning salon or something.

Put the ant back in, PLUG THE MICROWAVE IN, and try again.

Put a cup over it...How about one of them killer lizards you have attacking ya?

BK wrapper is not 100% aluminum ..

he's probly full of radiation and shit now... probly gonna fuckin' mutate into a 7 foot killer tonight and eat me when I'm not looking...


bastard ant

Get in the microwave for four minutes, then you'll kick his ass tonight.

for that very same reason - the air in a microwave doesn't heat up like a stove does. ever notice when you open your oven you gte a blast of heat but you dont' with a microwave?- microwaves aggitate the water molicules inside food to heat it.

Yes, but it did catch on fire. My microwave is very powerful.

i know that marshmellows explode if you nuke 'em too long....

And since the microwaves aren't hitting the absolute bottom of the potato, the aggitated molecules above are drawing the moisture from the bottom upward, leaving the bottom part dry and hard.

Thank you. I've leared something interesting today.

Probably because he does not have enough liquid in hi body to get heated by the Micrwaves.

Or maybe he has an adamantium exo-skeleton.

I reckon a seven foot ant would eat you whether you were looking at it or not!

The meek shall inherit the earth..

Speaking of microwaves, if Iraq war starts the US military will debut the microwave gun prototype..you can imagine the effects I think..range from crowd control to fry-by BBQ

Some friends and I, years ago, set up a microwave that would work with the door off.
We put it in a friend's backyard and ran out a long extension cord.
Then we filled it with forks and shit and plugged it in (it wasn't digital, it had a timer knob).
It was pretty cool. Worth doing again.

I knew a guy that did that too his sisters cat, and put it in for 10 seconds or so. I was there when he did it, but when he took the cat out nothing appeared to be wrong, he just ran away. This is no word of a lie, the cat died like last year or maybe it was the year before. Anyways he had a huge ass tumor on the side of him! I'm not postive about it being a tumor but there was a huge ball like lump....

why did the door need to be off for that? so you could see it spark and shit? I would left it on and put WD-40 cans inside. KABOOM

apparently it's real good at drying out cats that are wet though

noooo!

not if I was looking!



lol

I hate ants! My house is infested with these little fuckers !

We took the door off so the sparks would come shooting out into the yard. Like lightning. It was pretty nice.

I'm not infested.... just had that one in the microwave up there.... lol

damn i love googled cache

Ant have a very low moisture content and therefor do not attractthe microwaves....

fat and water 'accepts' m/w energy much more readily than protien or 'solid water' (ice), bone matter and most likely ants. eg. block of ice in m/w will liquify in a spot or two - typically on the surface -where the energy then sinks far more readily into the liquid water than solid water. this pocket of water gets more of the available ey in preference to the solid water and so on. something to do with molecular polarity? So ...available ey 'sinks' into coffee cf ants. also the m/w length thingy

Heating by microwaves is due to the EM radiation matching the natural frequency of water molecules. At a few hundred MHz, this oscillation heats the water in the food, which in turn cooks the food by conduction. Maybe ants don't have much water in their bodies, combined with being below the resolution limit of the waves (1/4 wavelength being 0.5-1cm) means they don't heat up and die. Or maybe just immune to EM radiation.

Why were there ants in there in the first place? Having a coffe and ant sandwich or just keeps a dirty kitchen

The exo-skelton in most invertibrates are calcious material, and this is known to absorb and nullify (may not be the right word here... but close enough) radiation of most kinds.
may be it also absorbs the MW radiation and stops it reaching the vital tissues for a short period of time??

an ants body fluid is more acidic then what we would usually place in the microwave which mabye reacts differently to water based materials such as a steak or cup of coffee

as water heats in the microwave it progressively absorbs more of the microwave energy.Not only is the distribution of microwaves in the oven cavity non uniform but as the material cooks the disparity in temperature through the material increases leading to hot spots.Things containing less water heat later and as time goes on get progressively less energy as the more water laden material takes progressively more of the energy. So ants are selectively protected when water is in the ovem.However if only ants were in the oven they would heat up very quickly. The length of the ants compared to the wavelength of the microwaves is irrelevent as it is the water molecules that at absorbing the energy.

Moths only survive up to 13 seconds in the microwave.

I think I already covered this about 10 posts up

I'll teach you how to make the perfect microwave potato..no fucking kidding.

I learned this from my grandmother.

Anyway, put a few holes in the potato..not a bunch just a few, wrap it in a paper towel and depending upon the size put the potato in the microwave for 4-7 minutes.

Only allow the potato to cook for a bit, because once you remove the potato it continues cooking.

Take the potato out and then wrap it in foil wrap for about 10 minutes, you can leave it wrapped for up to 30 it should retain the heat, but anyway don't attempt to eat the potato until it's been in the foil wrap for about 10 minutes.

Open up the foil, cut the potato that thing will be soft, fluffy and fucking delicious.

But my house is. Heeeeeeeeeelp!

We can't even forget pizza, coke or anything on the table for like 5 minutes... sometimes just SECONDS.

Why would you wan't to forget a pizza?

And if you really want to forget the pizza so bad, why don't you get rid of it instead of leaving it on the table?

... ur sooo dumb
it's obviously one of those super ants, don't fuck with it

Why would anyone want to fuck an ant? Your'e sick, man!

HAHAHAHA

Move out!

Remember THEM! ?
Hope you killed that ant before he could crawl away and mutate and create a super-an colony. Them fuckers are like Godzilla.
