Popcorn

We keep hearing about the dangers to our health from cell phones. Are the warnings really true or not? I'm not sure it has been proven one way or another at this point. Then we saw on the news a video from You Tube that your cell phone can pop popcorn from the microwaves that it emits. Since we had several cell phones in camp this week we decided to give it a try. First we set it up just like in the video and made the calls. The phones rang and rang, but the popcorn did not pop. So, we wondered if we had done something wrong and...
 tried this set up. As soon as the 4 people placing the calls were sure the call went through they added their phones to the arrangement. Now we had a sending and receiving signal, but still no popcorn. Hmmm, maybe those two canceled each other out. All I know for sure is that we had some pretty nice cells phones at work, a lot of laughs, and no popcorn. Guess we proved this one to be false, but where are  Myth Busters when we need them?
