Long and frequently hilarious conversation about the popcorn movie. I excerpted some bits last night and sent them in but it hasn't shown up on my computer, so maybe it was too long and nobody else got it either. Click on if you don't mind evesdropping. Rowena Can't resist, after all - I'll just copy on some of the silliest bits and you can look up the serious bits yourself. we'll test it right here! everybody point your mobiles to north pole, we'll melt the damn thing! we'll do it live! WAYNE! YOUR SERVICES ARE REQUIRED! THEY WANNA MELT DE NORTH POLE! QUICK! SAY SOMETHING SCIENTIFIC! It's a conspiracy - created by the people manufacturing and marketing semaphore flags. (The only truly safe way to communicate over distances.) Marketing what? How do I know what to buy? Well, perhaps it was a project done by film or marketing students. If you look at each video there's clearly one large gray 'cellphone' without a keypad or screen. The big grey brick of a phone in the first one is some random cell that Virgin Mobile out in Canada sells (Don't remember the model or brand) I used to own one, had a kick ass built in LED flashlight, but I lost it :( maybe cell phones are dangerous. but the way i've seen them most dangerous is when pedestrians walk directly into oncoming traffic because they're too wrapped up in their conversations to pay attention to their surroundings. This is nothing. I cooked a chicken pot pie putting it in the middle of four laptops downloading porn. 4 guys called me at the same time. My head exploded. True story. u shud hav writ 'my head asplode' Know your classics.. Well I got better... regardless of math or science, the last video (with the english speaking folks) is so obviously fake just based on the horrendous acting of all those involved. seriously, who sits around with a pitcher of orange juice??? the other two are in different languages so i can't tell if they are good actors. I sit around with a pitcher of orange juice :'( When my friends sit around a pitcher of orange juice, we usually add a bit of vodka. Watch the maggots crawl out of this chunk of meat and tell me spontaneous generation is wrong! I have a chunk of meat I rarely use Well, looks more like a maggot My cell phone is harmless. My cell phone is also harmle Mine too-- Hang on, someone's calling me right n yeah I always slept with my cell phone right next to my head for years, never had any pr Stop yammering and do the experiment yourself. That's science. This is Reddit. The mobb decides the science. Worry if your brain is the size of a popcorn. Well, the acceptable levels for microwave ovens are based on human health, not WiFi networks. Microwave ovens are a few hundred to a thousand times more powerful than your network base station: it doesn't take much of a leak to interfere with that: a fraction of a percent. While posing no real threat to your health. Uhh... it does do DNA damage, and protein damage. Proteins being broken down is what cooking eggs does. The lesson being: Don't stand inside your microwave for more than a minute.
