Are microwaves going to kill me?

[willhub]

Well I dont know what to think, possibly a load of rubbish but when ever I use the microwave ALL 3 of my flatmates tell me how I am going to die from cancer due to using a microwave......

They say that when you cook food in it and then when it's done and you take it out it still is full of microwave rays? Is this true? TBH I cant see how it will kill me everyone uses them...

The guy claims his gran got killed by a microwave as it gave her cancer.... Since when would doctors say, I'm sorry, but the cause of your gran's cancer is the fact she used microwaves all the time..

Any ideas?

Thanks
Will.

The microwave rays will dissipate as fast as the light rays from the bulb.

Whether there's merit in the "using/standing near microwaves whilst they're on can exacerbate cancer" argument, i'd vote that your house mates are all retarded, especially for "when it's done and you take it out it still is full of microwave rays?"

Someone I know claimed his brother died from cancer in his thigh because he always had his mobile phone in his pocket.

Some people need to associate death with a personal lesson, but I wouldn't let it get involved in your living. Grief does funny things to the way people think.

IF you can eat faster than the speed of light then it might be true

You will have passed away tomorrow at 08:15.

Just don't put your tin foil hat in the microwave, that might actually do some damage.

I sit next to a microwave and have gone bald, should I worry?

Smear mustard on the microwave to reverse the effect... the waves will come out hairy and repopulate your noggin.

YES.... run for the hills!

My girlfriends doctor told her mum that using the microwave may have been part of giving her throat cancer. No scrap of evidence suggesting the correlation, just people hearing " radiation rays" and thinking nuclear bombs imo.

But its pretty bad for a doctor to go along with that logic.....

You can also enhance the effect with some ketchup on the few parts of your head that may have some hair. The natural repulsion of ketchup and mustard will "re-direct" the hairy rays from places where they would otherwise be wasted.

microwaves are fine its those wireless routers you have to look out for.

(see mustard post for solution)

Stick your head in it and bypass the safety. You can prove/disprove it for us

They are? I have my wireless aerial at crotch height and I sit between it and my router.

Is that why I have 3 balls now...............................
