Best Answer

That would depend on the operating power level of the device, the contents of

the cooking chamber, and the exact angle from the sides of the oven to you.

A microwave oven that's able to run with the door open is hazardous to people

anywhere near it. DO NOT RUN IT. It must be unplugged, and repaired by a

technician who is factory-certified and knows what he's doing, before it's used

again. Take it from an Electrical Engineer with 35 years' microwave experience:

Do NOT call people into the kitchen and say "Hey look what the microwave is doing".

It is nothing to play around with !

Do you need goggles to see in the Antarctic snow?

One uses snow goggles for two reasons. a) in the mountains where there will be increased UV rays, goggles are essential to avoid snow blindness. Believe me you want to avoid it. b) in the Antarctic, it depends on your altitude. The snow glare can be very uncomfortable - it is as if you were looking into the sun! - so you will probably want to wear goggles for this. Even close to sea level. Otherwise as ) above. In 'whiteout' conditions, when it is just like you were inside a ping-pong ball, goggles do interfere with the Very difficult seeing conditions. You may have to proceed without goggles, just to maximize your seeing ability, but the chance of snow blindness is far from zero. Been there.

Are women prone to color blindness than man?

Studies show that color blindness affects 8% of Caucasian men and only 0.5% of Caucasian women. Therefore, while the color deficiency is mostly a male dominated affliction, some women are also affected. It is believed that color-blindness comes from a gene on the X chromosome and thus would be part of life from birth. However, it has been discovered that color-blindness can occur with some diseases such as liver disease.

If you stick your hands into the microwave oven do you need to amputate it away?

How would you close the door? You'd have to have your hands amputated in the first place to be able to close the oven door! Unless, you were a midget and then you'd fit your whole body in but then you'd be dead Generally, microwave ovens have an interlock on them as a safety device which prevents them working when the door is open. If, for any reason, this has been disabled it would be as foolish to put your hands in them as it would be to put your hands in an open fire or a pot of boiling water.
