We did the same thing where I worked in '77. It was a textile waste recycling 
place. Once on break we got bored and decided to see what happened when you 
put things in the microwave. One of these was a german cockroach (smaller 
one, only about an inch and a half). It walked out after a ten minute burst 
and looked at us as if to say "Yea?? What else ya got?"
