You'll make everyone here paranoid not to touch anything in their homes for fear of explosion

The only thing that would bother me if it exploded would be the wife

Ok the thing that got me was the carpenter ants. From wiki:

Quote:
In at least nine Southeast Asian species of the Cylindricus complex, including Camponotus saundersi, workers feature greatly enlarged mandibular glands that run the entire length of the ant's body. They can release their contents suicidally, rupturing the ant's body and spraying toxic substance from the head, which gives these species the common name "exploding ants."[4][5][6] The ant has an enormously enlarged mandibular gland, many times the size of a normal ant, which produces the glue. The glue bursts out and entangles and immobilizes all nearby victims.[7][8]

The termite species Globitermes sulphureus has a similar defensive mechanism.[9]

The only thing in my house that explodes in my wife...90% of the time she wakes up in a good mood, but when she doesn't, oh boy, look out.

Is it a good idea to microwave this?

300 things you shouldnt (or Should) microwave in your home. spread out over individual epidodes and 10 seasons.

these guys can be funny, but mostly its just interesting to see them microwave things and act like idiots.
