Boing Boing: HOWTO cook an egg with two mobile phones

HOWTO cook an egg with two mobile phones
This site claims to provide instructions for cooking an egg by placing it between two live mobile phones

I’d very much doubt that this would be much different than just placing the egg right next to the antenna of a single phone when making a call.

History News Network: “Buy Danish”

There’s apparently been somewhat of a furore over some Danish cartoons allegedly portraying Muslims in a not so favourable light. Various Muslim countries have called for a boycott. Various groups are calling for an anti-boycott.

Similarly, you cannot view Page 2 onwards of a site search: I’ll look into this (and highlighting search terms here too, BTW).

But, then, in his first solo album, Ben has the song:

Fred Jones, Part 2 • Ben FoldsRockin’ The Suburbs ★★★★★
