I recently had the unfortunate experience of discovering an
earwig (a revolting beetle-like creature with pincers on its back
end) crawling under the rotating tray of my microwave. I watched
it continue to crawl happily, even as my oatmeal bioled vigorously
(needless to say, i lost my appetite and went out for dinner).

I removed the oatmeal and blasted the bug at high for a while longer.
It didnt seem at all bothered. I finally disposed of it by hand.

So the question is, Why are bugs microwave-proof?
