Woman microwaves baby

I know this has been discussed before, but here’s a recent story…

She will have good company in prison, hopefully, right next to the woman who drowned her newborn infant in a toilet within minutes of him being born. 25-life sentence.

I love my job, but sometimes it is very hard to do.

This shouldn’t be taken the wrong way, but … why a microwave? I mean, if you’re so fucked up that you’ve decided to kill your 6 week old baby, surely there are less horrific ways to do it - that is, a way that would spring to mind a shit-load lot quicker than zapping on high for 3:00 minutes.

You have to go through a creative thinking process to come up with an Amana Radar Range as a murder weapon.

My microwave doesn’t have a “baby” setting.

I don’t know; it’s pretty fascinating to observe how things react when you apply high-intensity electromagnetic waves to them. It’s the sort of curiosity that readily become dementia when you become curious how a 6-week-old baby reacts. The baby’s death was probably just a juicy bonus for a struggling parent.

Maybe she get made fun of for repeating that really old baby in the microwave urban legend and decided the best way to get even was to make it true.

But they sort of taste like chicken, so that’s the setting i use.

She should’ve had hid her for 31 days and then said it was an accident. Of course that only will work in Florida

What’s the over/under for how long it took?

There are a lot of ads surrounding the article on The Sacramento Bee’s website (linked in the OP). Sadly, none of them advertise microwave ovens for cheap at Walmart.

She’s pregnant again, of course. No microwave access in jail, so she’ll have to serve the next one sashimi style or in a ceviche.

Provided the hits that have been placed on her never get carried out and she manages to have the baby…

This is a travesty. Everyone knows that a rotisserie is the best way to cook one.

Sounds like a certain Snopes article is about to get another update. This is one legend I didn’t want to see ostended, though.

Never forget to remove the plastic film over the mashed potatoes. I hate it when I do that.

It’s always half frozen mashed potatoes or peach cobbler that’s roughly the temperature of the sun.

Microwave? No, no no no, no. Always broil! Microwaving just dries them out too much. Yuck.

Hmmm…what to serve with microwaved baby? I mean, white wine or red?

I wonder if she’ll be examined by a psychiatrist? Frontal-lobe brain damage and disorders (tumors, etc.) can have drastic impacts on behavior, inhibition (or lack thereof) and personality. People who do these horrible, unspeakable, unthinkable acts sometimes may have brain functions that are literally out of their control.

I would think that’s a shitty way to die. :frowning:

She didn’t do something stupid like wrap the baby in aluminum foil, did she? Because that would be dangerous!

If there’s anything I learned from the movie Kick-Ass, it’s that being microwaved is the most awesome way to die. As long as you’re not the one inside it, of course.

:rolleyes: Idiot! Meat never cooks well in a microwave!
