Cell Phones a Poppin'
As many of you know I receive hundreds of emails a day and many of them are "forwards" from friends who just have to know if something is real or not. I received one from a member of my family today that shows a video (see below) in which a couple of individuals have placed 4 kernels of unpopped popcorn in the middle of 4 cell phones and then they call the phones and viola! the corn pops! - let me just say, this is absurd! - if cell phones released that much EM energy then they would literally fry your brain, it wouldn't be over a long period of time, it would happen in a matter of minutes.
It took me all of about 2 minutes of Googling to find enough evidence that this one is definitely a hoax:
