Also if you rip its head off it will not die right away the only way it dies is from starvation and if you catch one stick it in the freezer for a week take it out defrost it and it will run away

:
Firstly, I wanna know how bored you were to try this!
Secondly, I remember listening to Dr Karl once and he explained it as roaches don't have a lot liquid in their bodies like most other animals. Now a microwave heats things up by causing the liquid (water?) inside a body to become more and more agitated until it begins to warm up. So the less liquid, the less effective a micowave will be. This is why eggs and potatoes can be dangerous if microwaved as both contain huge amounts of water compared to the general mass.
