Call your insurance company. Cool pic's though. You may be able to salvage the HDD if you get it out quickly.
Really?
Let it thaw... take the battery off as SOON as you can. Let it dry COMPLETELY after thawing (wait six days even after you THINK all the water is out. Keep tipping it and let everything drip out and then keep waiting a week or so).
You never know... it might still work.
Sorry that your house caught fire, stinks around this time of the year
For some fun you can always take it to the Genius Bar and ask 
I'm sorry to hear about the fire.
But that MacBook is really cool looking. (Literally! XD)
Yeah, I say file for an insurance claim. Then you can get a new UniBody!

I would let it thaw itself at room temperature.
if you accelarate thawing you may cause damage through warping and too much water flow suddenly.
gently chip the ice on the outer shell away and let it thaw at room temp.
you didn't relly put it in the microwave did you?
i'd kill myself, i dont think i've ever felt cold like that in my entire life. how do you get your cars to start?
where in MN? I live 15 miles south of Detroit Lakes. Sorry to hear about your house!
you can save the hard drive, the computer may not start but the hard drive should work fine in another machine
Cool pictures, I have never seen a frozen MacBook before.
Sorry to hear about the fire though. Having gone through a house fire before (a few days before Christmas several years ago), I know that it is a hard and emotional time. I hope that things work out for you and your house is repaired/rebuilt as soon as possible.
As others have said, the best thing to do is let the insurance company buy you a new MacBook.
