Please, Don't cook your brains with a phone-call

The DJ this morning shared with listeners the result of an AT&T survey that guys spend more time on the phone than ladies. Now you know! Regardless, there is a lot of hype about phone-use from it being hazardous to health, bad for the heart if placed too near it for extended periods of time, and so forth. The next time you use the phone, you may want to give your brains a thought.

An experiment was conducted.

One egg and 2 mobiles
65 minutes to call from one phone to the other
Set up something like the one below


Call was initiated between the mobiles to last for 65 min's approximately:

Nothing will happen on the first 15 minutes...
After 25 minutes the egg starts warming up,
After 45 min's, the egg is already hot; and
After 65 min's the egg is cooked.


Conclusion:
If the microwave radiation emitted by the mobiles is capable to modify the proteins in the egg. Imagine what it can do with the proteins in our brains when we talk through the mobiles.

Would anyone like to try this out and report your results? Just to be sure?

  1. Not sure of the objectives of AT&T survey. If it was trying to prove that men talk more than women, I see a flaw:
    AT&T never knows whether the calls were made for business purpose, or simply for idle chatting.

  3. KS, I see your point. I am also inclined to believe that women use the phone more for social reasons. Gender make-up, I guess, afterall we are from Venus.

    PandaB, really? No cooked egg?
