nuclear ants

ok. so tony (tony's my hubby; he doesn't want me to write about him but he OK'd it anyway) left his pizza in the microwave last night (after i told him to get up and put it in the fridge!.....umm, angry tangent, party of one) and when i woke up today it was, of course, covered with ants. so i threw the pizza away but the ants were still hangin around...ya know, just chillin in the microwave. so here's what i did: i nuked the bitches!! i turned it on for 3 minutes at HIGH and guess what?? THEY DIDN'T DIE!!!! is that common knowledge and i'm the only one who didn't know this?? i microwaved a small colony of ants on HIGH for 3 minutes and they just kept on about their business....they were eating and carrying crumbs, they were stopping to kiss each other! i mean, they didn't even make haste!! the heat wasn't a factor whatsoever!! damn them. damn them all to hell.
