Graham Earnshaw writes in with an interesting tidbit from the South China Morning Post:

The Beijing Star Daily reported that one woman complained that she had burned her new mobile phone when she tried to sterilise it in a microwave. State media also reported that a woman in Beijing’s suburban area of Tongzhou had tried to sterilise 3,000 yuan in a microwave. The notes caught fire, but the woman managed to rescue 2,000 yuan.”
