If I were the kind of guy that ate eggs regularly, I'd probably have tested whether poking some holes in the shell would avoid it exploding as violently as they tend to due to the buildup of pressure. I normally poke holes with a thumbtack when I boil them in a pot, but only one in each end. But yeah, maybe more than one hole in each end would be enough to alleviate the pressure, combined with setting the microwave to a lower wattage when cooking.
