> using a microwave with microscopic cracks in the glass and staying nearby No, this is false. Microwave are non-ionizing radiation, and microscopic cracks in the glass won't do anything. Maybe large cracks in the metal mesh under the glass would allow a bit of micro waves to come off, which you might be able to feel as heat would be transferred, but since this is non-ionizing, it would be exactly the same thing as your hear heating up if you stay on a cell-phone for a long time. Just heat.
