Popcorn bullshit!

Last Monday, exactly at 17th October, We, class 01PBC were given task to bring interesting video about technology. One of my friend's groups brings the video about making popcorn using cell phones. The corn was placed on the center and surrounded by 4 cell phones on each side, and then the phone is called by the other person. Basically, it's like heating the corn using radiation caused by the phone. Amazingly, in the video the corn suddenly popped and turn into popcorn. Our lecturer was curious about this, so he brought the corn at his next lecture, exactly last Monday, and told us to try it. We tried it and nothing happen. We looked like a bunch of dumb people, trying to cook using cell phone. Unsatisfied with the result, I searched the internet to know more about this. After reading some sources, I realized that it is just a hoax. And it's simply scientifically impossible.

I hope you guys now realized why it didn't work. For those of you who haven't seen the video, you can find it on youtube. Have fun with it, but don't try it since it's useless.

Actually, Leonard was the one who bought the popcorn, not the lecturer...
