Fly survives microwave.

[jecasc]

I just put a cup in the microwave oven to boil water for a cup of tee. I noticed a little fly in the microwave and since it wouldn't fly out I shut the door. (I waited ten seconds so I think I gave it a fair chance) After two minutes at 700W I opened the door, water was boiling wildly. And the fly? To my astonishment the fly was still alive and flew happily away.

Are flies immune to microwaves?

I tried to find an answer on google but couldn't find anything useful. Except some funny ideas on what else you can do with your microwave. (Heres the link if anybody interested: [margo.student.utwente.nl...] )

Any explanations for this "miracle"?

Leosghost,

Not true. The kill in Kilkenny (Cill Ceannaigh), Kildare (Cill Dara), etc. comes from the Irish cill (Scots ceall), meaning a church or (monastic) cell.

[englishirishdictionary.com ]

In New York State, however, kill denotes a creek or stream, from the Middle Dutch kill or kille. Hence the Catskill mountains among others mentioned in the article.

Ebear ..I bow to your greater knowledge (maybe)..but how do they ( see recent thread for who are they :) know which "imigrant" community gave the places "kill" names in the USA ..after all there are more of "us" in the USA than there are "chez nous"...
I'm personally related to half of Boston and most of the NYPD.
