Got this in my e-mail. I have the link that I found so you can see the pictures of how this was done. Maybe.

1 Egg
2 Mobiles
65 minutes of connection between mobiles.

Initiated the call between the two mobiles and allowed 65 minutes approximately...
During the first 15 minutes nothing happened;
25 minutes later the egg started getting hot;
45 minutes later the egg is hot;
65 minutes later the egg is cooked.

Conclusion: The immediate radiation of the mobiles has the potential to modify the proteins of the egg. Imagine what it can do with the proteins of your brains when you do long calls.

There is a much more reliable way to cook an egg with two cellphones.

crush two celphones to small bits. Place them in a 450 degree oven for one hour on a cookie sheet. Remove the cookie sheet with the crushed celphones, and crack an egg on them. Let stand for ten minutes. Your egg will be cooked.

The other method is pure fiction.

hmmm, this old thing...

The prob is that cel phones (because of all the
"brain cancer" scares") only put out a fraction of
a watt (prob something like 100 milli watts or 1/10
of a watt). Compare this to a night-light which is
usually about 1/4 watt (ie, 0.25 for those fractionally
challenged

So, you *can* cook an egg. But it would probably rot
before it cooked. Try taking an egg and placing it
next to a night-light and then check it the next
day -- but of course DON'T DO THIS AT HOME!!!!!
and it will probably be warmer than the surrounding
air - the pathetic energy output warms the egg.

The only way this ever works is if you create a
microwave chamber, er, ahm. oh, i don't know
like a MICROWAVE OVEN - small, but large enough
to put the egg in. "somehow" tap that fraction of
a watt from the cell phone and channel it into
the flux capacitor (er, ahm sorry - that's another
myth) and it "might" cook the egg. But, again
cell phones hardly put out any energy at all.

Now if you got one of the old MOBILE TELEPHONES
or a WALKIE TALKIE - rated at 1 to 5 FULL watts...
then we might get breakfast; in about 3 or 4 hours??

**** And to beat the dead horse even more:

Your microwave oven is something like 600 watts (and
even though all of that power doesn't go ito the
micro-wave chamber) it *still* takes 1 minute or
so to cook an egg!

Well, if a cell phone puts out 100mW and an egg boils after 1 minute in 600W, then it would be possible to cook an egg in one hour with 100 cell phones.

Come on. This sounds cool

Uh, no.

Simple experiment: you need to bring the temperature of eggs up to AT LEAST 140 F before the proteins in the egg will even begin to denature, or cook. In real life, actual cooking won't take place until the proteins reach about 180 F. It doesn't matter how long you hold an egg at a lower temperature - it isn't ever going to cook until these minimum temperatures are reached, period. Now, with that understood, hold your cell phone up next to your head. Do you feel anything approaching that sort of heat? Do you feel any heat at all? No.

Busted. Without the thrilling television segment involving watching nothing happen for 20 minutes.

So, you *can* cook an egg.

So how does compairing a cell phone to a night light cause you to come to the conclusion you *can* cook an egg.

Also, your numbers are a little off. A cell phone puts out a maximum of 600 milliwatts and a typical night light bulb is 4 watts. Since most the the power of a night light bulb is lost as heat, it's a good indication of power to heat conversion. A 4 watt night light doesn't get very hot and that's 3⅓ times more power than you could get from TWO cell phones. And that is also assuming all the RF energy from the cell phones goes into the egg. In reality, only a very small amount of the cell phone's power would be absorbed by the egg.

This is a real stupid myth that has been listed too many times, but since some idiot put it on Youtube a lot of people believe it. Use your brain. It's there for more than absorbing cell phone signals.

I love those cellphone myths. They're so insanely dumb but everyone believes it because cellphones seem like magical pieces of electronics to them, and as soon as they hear that they use electromagnetism to communicate, oh my!

I cooked an egg with 2 cellphones!



But it took a lot of lighter fluid....

You can cook an egg with two cell phones, but it's way better with bacon IMO.

I can cook an egg without a cell phone. It's easy.
