Micowaves cook from the inside out. It agitates the water molecules and in doing so creates heat. So, I suspect the tissue was destroyed in that 10-20 seconds.

It must've been a powerful microwave then as mine won't even warm up a container of water in that time, let alone char a piece of meat.

I thing the time period was much longer than what the article states.

...wait a minute... Texas chainsaw masacre.:hmm: Neals okay, but I can't vouch for anybody else.

When it's known in what establishment he'll be residing in, someone should email them this as a reminder of how evil this individual is http://imgcash1.imageshack.us/img476...crowaveao5.gif

Throw in a few bucks as a form of encouragement http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellit...115[1].gif

I bet it was longer also! At any rate, this guy is twisted.

Of all crimes cruelty to children and animals turns my stomach. I would completely lose it when it came to retribution.

I think it was in Orwell's classic '1984' where punishment was metted out according to the convicted persons worst fobia. In this particular case this guy had a fobia about rats. So what they did was fix his head to a cage with nothing but a board seperating his face from starving rats on the other side. He has to live through this fear as he hears these rats gnawing away at the board as they attempt to get at his face. As each day passes, the rats make the hole bigger and bigger until...

Also, in the old USSR a prisoner was never informed of the date of his or her execution. There was none of this "last meal" garbage. You never knew when your last day would be. Therefore, every time you heard footsteps approaching your cell door and that key been turned in the lock - would it be the warden with your meal tray in his hands or not. That is the question you would live with day in and day out until... Much like Russian roulette I guess.

No they dont, this is a popular myth about microwaves, but has no founding in reality.
