Foil in the microwave FTW
My gran tried boiling an egg in the microwave when she first got hers. The "crump" noise caused the end both of the egg and the microwave.

Would have liked to have seen that and I am quite tempted to try it out.
Lemons do make a good crackle, but don't blow up the microwave.

I haven't tried but I believe that if one pricks the two ends of the egg then that leaves sufficient leeway for pressure to escape. On other things in microwaves, there's a UK TV programme called Brainiac which disposes of microwaves explosively on a regular basis using balloons filled with various gasses and a metal strip to get the spark going.

Over and above this, in the far distant past, the comedy duo Hale and Pace did a sketch involving a kitten in a microwave...
