Re: [Phys-l] Why ants survive in a micro wave oven.

["Jeffrey Schnick" <JSchnick@Anselm.Edu>]

I put some tiny droplets of water on the (outside) bottom of an inverted
Styrofoam cup and mircowaved them on high for 5 min.  The cup was on one
of those rotating glass platforms you find in some microwave ovens.  The
droplets were still there after the 5 minutes.
