You all know what your mom always told you
If you stare into the microwave, you'll go blind!
Truth, or just a mother's bull?

Staring at it will not make you go blind but standing too close to it all day long, day after day ay make you at a larer risk for other things. Anyway, why stare at anything while you wait? Go clean your room while you wait. At least you will be doing something useful. Stare away. If you dare.....

Just stare at the other end. A microwave is actually shortened radio signals that vibrate water molecules in the food. Unless they're sparking going on in the oven due to a electrical arcing, it shouldn't bother your vision at all. However I would not sit too close. Studies of electromagnetic activity are ongoing in terms of their health effects on human beings. Stay a safe distance away from the oven just like staying away from your television set a little bit.

I heard in guys it could make the guy's balls dry up and turn to ash
and on women there breasts to drop off...
ok just kiding that is all non sence but it is safe to stare at a microwave but not if the door to the microwave does not fit right or the door id damaged and the unit still works if so please unplug it and throw away and replace it or repair it.

I don't know but don't EVER put tinfoil in the microwave or metallic painted cups. Sparks real purdy like a firework and then bursts into flame. Don't try that at home kiddies ;) .

Mother's bull. It's also not true that you have to stand 10 meters away or you'll get fried by micro waves.
If they were that dangerous, they wouldn't be for sale.

There is a chance it may leak microwaves, so there could be some truth in it.

Well for one...is it on or off? I would say either on or off it wouldnt make you go blind. It might make you jump when the timer goes off when your food or when it just done. But i dont think it will....
