Easter Version of What Not to Put in the Microwave

The dying of Easter eggs; a wholesome traditional (though I have to say, white eggs look really strange after you've been eating brown ones for years). So we boil the water for the eggs and put them in for 10 minutes; turns out that's not long enough and it's not good to figure this out after the kids have started dying them. So we put them back in the water; the dye does come off but can be redyed. However one should not put the partially cooked eggs in the microwave; it doesn't actually cook them. Instead they just blow up. (I'm guessing others out there probably already knew this). I was in the other room and I heard my friend saying "sometimes mommy's make mistakes and then they have to clean the egg from the inside of the microwave." Some helpful links though for others attempting eggs cooking below (and does anyone else remember the infomercial for that microwave egg boiler thing; I'm remembering it was on around 2 in the morning -- ah those college days):
