Woman microwaves pyjamas, sets house on fire
A woman in Australia had to escape a burning house after she tried to microwave her pyjamas.
Janette Wardell, who is in her late 60s, used her microwave oven to warm up her bedwear, which resulted in a house fire at around 8.15pm.
Neighbours helped Wardell escape her home in Burleigh Waters, Queensland, after which she was taken to a nearby hospital as a precaution, Courier Mail reports.
Firefighters arrived on the scene to find black smoke coming out of the duplex home and extinguished the blaze by 9pm. No-one was injured in the fire.
Neighbour Alby Panther said: "She told the police she was trying to warm up her pyjamas in the microwave when it exploded. It's a big no-no, but it was an accident - we're always wise later on.
"Janette lives alone and her house is a mess from the fire. It's quite sad, really."

Re: Woman microwaves pyjamas, sets house on fire
I used to know an old lady that dad similar things to this but i believe it was actually a microwaveable like bean bag that kept you warm.
daft idea too me, good old fashioned water bottle or electric blanket is quicker and probably safer if checked regularly (the blanket i mean) Hidden Content
