Wasn't sure where to post this, so mods feel free to move it to another forum if appropriate.
I've seen the mention on the Headlines page (Tuesday April 1st 2008) about boiling an egg with a mobile phone and thought I'd do a quick check on it.
Found this link on hoax-slayer (http://www.hoax-slayer.com/cook-egg-mobile-phones.shtml) that claims it isn't true, with the same image that is shown on Headlines page. I suspect that it is just a hoax, as a friend who is a science teacher did an experiment at his school and nothing happened. I wondered if anyone on here has actually tried this and if so what happened. I might give it a go and see what happens ... but certainly won't be eating the egg after!
I was going to just email whoever edits stuff for the Headlines page, so that they knew it is possibly not true, but can never figure out what address to use. Is there an address to use for such comments?
... but it might just be an April Fool posting :D
