"Did you hear about the woman who sued the microwave manufacturers
after she killed her dog?
You see, there was this old lady who had a little dog, a poodle or
something. It was her only companion, and she used to take it for walks
and bath it regularly. She developed a routine. First she'd wash it,
then towel-dry it, then put it in her electric oven on the lowest power
for 5 minutes. She reckoned this gave her dog the best, smoothest coat.
Anyway, she gets given a microwave oven by her daughter. One day while
drying her dog she looks at the microwave and thinks "It's quick, it
heats stuff up, I'll use it instead of the oven". She puts the
microwave on low power and puts the dog in.
Now the thing about microwaves is that they don't work like ovens, but
heat water molecules directly. While the old lady went to put on the
kettle, the little dog exploded.
Naturally the woman's upset about this, but rather than buy a new dog
she decides to sue the manufacturer for insufficient warnings. After
all, how was she supposed to know that it wasn't safe for the dog? She
wins her case, and gets awarded like three million dollars for her
distress.
That's why all microwaves in the USA now carry the warning "Do not put
pets in the microwave to dry them".
True story".

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- A mother was arrested on suspicion of killing her
newborn daughter by microwaving the baby in an oven.
China Arnold, 26, was jailed Monday on a charge of aggravated murder,
more than a year after she brought her dead month-old baby to a
hospital. Bail was set Tuesday at $1 million.
"We have reason to believe, and we have some forensic evidence that is
consistent with our belief, that a microwave oven was used in this
death," said Ken Betz, director of the Montgomery County coroner's
office.
He said the evidence included high-heat internal injuries and the
absence of external burn marks on the baby, Paris Talley.
Arnold was arrested soon after the baby's death in August 2005, then
was released while authorities investigated further. Betz said the case
was difficult because "there is not a lot of scientific research and
data on the effect of microwaves on human beings."
The death was ruled a homicide caused by hyperthermia, or high body
temperature. The absence of external burns ruled out an open flame,
scalding water or a heating pad as the cause, Betz said.
Arnold's lawyer, Jon Paul Rion, said his client had nothing to do with
her child's death and was stunned when investigators told her that a
microwave might have been involved. (Watch the mother weep during her
court hearing )
"China -- as a mother and a person -- was horrified that such an act
could occur," Rion said.
The night before the baby was taken to the hospital, Arnold and the
child's father went out for a short time and left Paris with a baby
sitter, Rion said. The mother didn't sense anything out of the ordinary
until the next morning, when the child was found unconscious, Rion
said.
Arnold has three other children.
In 2000, a Virginia woman was sentenced to five years in prison for
killing her month-old son in a microwave oven. Elizabeth Renee Otte
claimed she had no memory of cramming her son in the microwave and
turning on the appliance in 1999.
Experts said that Otte suffered from epilepsy and that her seizures
were followed by blackouts.
