Question of the day
If you are cooking a potato in the microwave,
what happens if you don't poke holes in it beforehand?
Have I already asked this question before?

Stepfather-in-law (confident, scientific): "It may or may not explode. It seems like the steam and pressure would build up, and it'd have to go somewhere."
Mother-in-law (passionately rebutting): "But a potato is NOT like it's SO 'skin tight.' (emphasis on that last "t" sound.) It's not going to EXPLODE into pieces."
Father-in-law (ignoring passionate rebuttal): "I've heard of an intact egg exploding in a microwave."
Mother-in-law (smiling, suddenly forgetting the debate): "So here's an egg story: A long time ago I was in a village visiting an elder. We were talking. She was sitting facing me and her back to the counter and microwave. We didn't know her son had put a boiled egg in there to finish it off--the yolk was a little soft. So we're talkin' and talkin', and all of a sudden, KABOOM! (expressive wide eyes.) The microwave door FLIES open; egg pieces hit the elder on the back of her head and shoulder and all over the microwave! (chuckles)"
Not a solid answer from the arctic round table discussion, but we're pretty confident about eggs exploding. Want some ketchup with those eggs?
