The fact that manufacturers feel the need to put warnings that encompass this kind of stupidity on their product tells you all you need to know, doesn't it.

Wasn't there a woman who tried to dry her little dog in the microwave, sued the company and won, because they never explicitely stated not to put live animals in there?

I hope that story isn't true, but most warning labels exist for a reason, and that reason isn't common sense.
