I baked a potato in the microwave this way once. I had meant to press 5:55
but had pressed 55:55 instead, then I got engrossed in something and just
forgot about it until I smelled something funny, went running into the
kitchen and saw flames shooting out of the microwave.

Funny thing is, while I never got all the burn marks out, the microwave
has been going fine since - and it's been 6 years. It's been doing much
better on a low-carb diet; potatoes spike my microwave.
