Snopes.com is a great place to visit for anyone with a reasonable amount of curiosity about strange hoaxes, weird myths and the odd piece of junk science.
This being a weird science blog, the idea isn’t to help spread junk science, but to demonstrate how genuine science can be used to debunk the dubious stuff.
Today’s busted myth is the one about two cell phones being able to pump out enough electromagnetic energy to cook an egg (see photo).
The final verdict?
False!
Not even a bundle of 100 cell phones could even warm a raw egg.
