I recall reading that the microwave oven was invented by a physicist after he walked by a radiation chamber and the chocolate bar in his pocket melted... makes me wonder if there was any historic license taken in that case as well.

That one I could totally believe. Radar equipment + chocolate bar = very likely to occur.

The main problem with that one is chocolate bar + body heat also leads to melting.

		Please compare a chocolate bar after 30s in your pocket and 30s in your microwave.
