The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket.

Fbone, I don't think that the chocolate bar was in his pocket. It was on a tabletop near the tube.

No, in his pocket

Yep, killing cats in ancient Egypt sentenced you to death.

In India there is harder punishment for killing a cow than killing a person.

Edit:
Another reference on pocket vs table top.

Lady Astor once told Winston Churchill 'if you were my husband, I would poison your coffee'. His reply 'if you were my wife, I would drink it'
