HOWTO, Cook an Egg With Your Cell Phone
xPosiMattx writes "Suzzanna Decantworthy published an article in her Wymsey Weekend column that described how to cook an egg with two cell phones. From the article: "Many students, and other young people, have little in the way of cooking skills but can usually get their hands on a couple of mobile phones. So, this week, we show you how to use two mobile phones to cook an egg which will make a change from phoning out for a pizza.""
1. Preheat oven to 350deg.
2. Oil and flour a 8" pan (or use nonstick).
3. Dial your ex.
4. Place phone in pan.
5. Crack an egg on the phone.
6. Season to taste.
7. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
OK, obviously #3 is a problem...

...but the little foot icon looks astonishingly like an old rotary telephone today.

Ha! Like they expect us to believe th -- OOOH! Shiny!
can't cook an egg with two cell phones. Each phone communicates with a tower, not each other. I even knew that before I read it on boingboing. amazing.
Stop invalid scientific research. Ask your local scientists to feed their lab rats with a phytoestrogen-free chow.
...don't talk on two cell phones simultaneously.
Oh, c'mon! I really want this to work! This could be one of the coolest bar tricks ever. "Waiter? A shot glass and an egg, please...." ...."Okay, hold on guys, could just be another couple o' minutes.... maybe I need to turn the Nokia ten degrees...."
Don't ever put two cell phones in your front pant pockets. You might cook your eggs but no one will ever know. And if you have two cell phones in your back pant pockets, your ass will catch on fire and everyone will laugh at you. Life is a cruel master.
So you don't get bored waiting, because you'll be waiting a very long time. Especially considering the fact that this method does not work.
Why is it that when you believe something it's an opinion, but when I believe something it's a manifesto?
this is nonceklse - ive;benen using my cebll phone for yearsnow and theresno obsevvable effecsts.

It has none of the charm or actual science of Mythbusters and yet the people who make it think they're the coolest, funniest, sexiest people in the world. What they don't realise is that they're actually English.

This really works! I've done it!
And, for the first time since yesterday, I am offering for sale a revolutionary new product that will protect your precious head from the same egg-cooking x-rays that make you breakfast.
For three small payments of $19.95, you can block the radiation emitting from your cell phone by adding this small device to the back of your phone. The unique lattice-like orientation of the pantented gold-copper-lead electrical conduits create an electrical "net" around your phone, forcing the dangerous radiation to be emitted directly up into the sky instead of into your brain! Simply peel the backing off the product and affix it to the back of your phone, between the phone and the battery. Be sure to read the manual for proper placement, because if you are even a fraction of an inch off, you won't get the proper protection you deserve. If you are feeling nervous about doing it yourself, I also offer a service to install this device on your phone for you, for only two additional payments of $19.95 each, plus postage. Just send me your phone and rest easy!
But wait! Call now, and I will throw in, completely free of charge, a cell phone privacy guard. This handy device fits over the mouthpiece of the phone and prevents malicious hackers from listening in on your calls by scrambling your signal. Don't miss out on this opportunity!
First one hundred callers receive a deed to the Brooklyn Bridge as a FREE GIFT!

Two, if you keep your phone in your front pants pocket.

It is EXTREMELY irresponsible to post such stupid stuff here - don't you realise that soon this will be duped several times on Digg and then other Diggers will post it to their blogs, while others look for someone (or a cell phone company) to blame, and will start wrapping their phones or heads in tinfoil - heck, some Diggers will probably TRY and cook an egg and may get salmonella from the eggs on their fingers, which they will transfer to their mouths when they suck their thumbs and so will end up needing antibiotics.
For the sake of humanity (Diggmanity?) *** --No Digg ***.
I better go warn them before it's too late.....

Yeah, a lot of people think that two cell phones form a link together. But I can top that one:
My girlfriend's (believe it or not) mom has been going on a "kill the long-distance bill" rampage, and has been yelling at everyone for using her land line to make anything but local phone calls. One day, I asked her why she doesn't use her cell phone to call her mom who lives in New Mexico (my girlfriend's mom lives in Wisconsin). She replied "Oh, well there aren't that many cell phone towers in New Mexico." After that, I had to spend ten minutes explaining to her how cell phones actually work. She still yelled at everyone else, and used the land line herself.
Psh - come one. It's because eggs like to be seduced, not just coddled.
First, they say a cell phone will not fry your brain, or cause brain cancer. They are safe! Now, they say cell phones can fry an egg? If they put out enough radiation to do that, then this is your brain, and this is your brain on a cell phone. Any questions?
How ya like dat?
That right. Cell phones frying your brain is an urban legend. I use a cell fone a lot. In fact I'm using won rite now wile I rite this. If cel fons casd y damge I ld no. If i wen't so pattic wod b lahble. Ia gine a cll pone kausng ayon ha...
The race isn't always to the swift... but that's the way to bet!
I tried it and it works!
The only thing the article fails to mention is that the phones must be inside a 400 degree oven for the entire process. But other than that...
