I don't get it. I have microwaved water before and have never seen these
results. There are a couple of exceptions though:

BTW: I was making Mac and cheese...

I usually nuke about 4 cups of water in a 2 quart bowl (uncovered), not a
coffee cup.
I add just a pinch of salt. Does lowering the boiling point affect the
experiment?
I set the power on HIGH (700 Watt microwave) for 10 minutes. Maybe the
wattage isn't high enough?

Throwing the macaroni in doesn't seem to make it explode at all. Have I
just been lucky all these years?
