Default Running an empty microwave oven

They're cleverer than you think. One escaped, and flew from tree to tree waiting for me to chase after him. Came back the following day by himself, after flying for miles all over the place.

might ruin your electric bill budget though. ;-))

shakle the damm bird to the cage/perch

or teach the bird to climb inside to warm itself up. ;-P

Is it really true that turning on a microwave with nothing in it will

break it?

Even more worrying - will it catch fire or explode?

Don't they have a safety cutout? Can't it sense the Klystron overheating,

or a build up of microwaves over a certain level?

I have purchased a new microwave which has an easier to grab control. I'm

concerned one of my pet parrots will switch it on! (Seriously, they do
stuff like that)

A Pakistani arrives in London City all excited. He stops the first person

he meets. "Good day, Mr. British, thank you to accept me in Your nice
country", but the person interrupts and says: "I am not British, I'm
Chinese."
The Pakistani continues on his way and meets another passer-by. "Thank you

Mr. British for to let my family and me stay here... " Again, he's
interrupted before finishing his sentence. "I no be British, I be Turk!"
He goes a little farther and meets another person and greets him "thank

you for letting me come to your beautiful country." ... "I'm not British,
I'm Kosavon."
"But," answers the Pakistani distressed, "where are the British??"
The Kosavon looks at his watch and says ..... "Probably at work."
