Exclamation How to Destroy your brain

I fear for the future of us all after seeing this video, which uses 4 cell phones to microwave popcorn curnels in under 10 seconds. I'm sure in another 20 years brain tumors will be skyrocketing.

And you think corporations give a damn about our safety, lol what a joke.

just curious, but does anyone know the minimum amount of watts that have to go into a corn seed before it pops?

here's a little info I found on cell power, I guess the real damage occurs from an Ionizing radiation.. eithway, those kernals seemed to pop faster using cell phones than my houshold microwave system could pop them. pretty scary

"Meanwhile, the total power emitted from the cell phone itself ranges from 0.75 to 1 watt. According to the FCC (Federal Communications Commission), this is an acceptably safe amount of power for a cell phone since their cut-off or specific absorption rate  is only 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/kg). As a result, the power radiated from a cell phone is considered as non-ionizing as opposed to ionizing. This means that it is safe and causes only a bit of heating as opposed to having enough electromagnetic energy to take apart the makeup of body tissue and trigger chemical reactions like x-rays do. Even so, the long-term effects of cell phone radiation are still not known so its best to just avoid the risks by checking the label the next time you purchase one."

I hope you guys don't think they are really popping corn, watch the video in full screen, they are dropping poped corn on to the table and it looks like the corn on the table is falling throught the table.

Thanks for more BS. Maxwell

i use my cell phone to cook my dinner when the power is out or when i am camping. if you dial long distance it makes your steak medium well, international calls makes it well done and of course local calls is rare.

george foreman is coming out with a cell phone powered grille next month, I will be first in line to pick one up! I am so excited!!

well our cells are only 1 watt output, I think my microwave is over 1000 watts and that takes atleast 1 minute before a kernal pops.

either way I still don't like 1 watt near my head for hours of use.
