So call me superstitious and gullible, but have you seen any of those videos that have popped up on the internet featuring cellphones popping corn, hillarious, isn’t it? [x] Well, if you don’t believe it, which I didn’t at first, I’m not saying you have to. Afterall, it could be fake, it may not be, but doesn’t that scare you? The fact that cellphones alone can radiate enough energy to pop corn kernels? It has the same amount/strength of radiation stuff as a microwave or stove.
If you haven’t seen this before, some people surround a few popcorn kernels with four phones, I believe. Then one person calls the phones and with the pleasant tones and rings, the kernels begin to pop! All the people in the video begin to laugh hysterically. It’s almost as funny as it’s dangerous. D: I wonder if the people after doing their little video, pick up their phones and then call up their friends and give them a two hour long report. Haha.
Trickery there must be, however, because, as a simple matter of logic, if your cell phone emits enough electromagnetic energy to pop popcorn, it should also make your head explode. When was the last time that happened to you?

Just imagine what it can do to our heads if it can do that to popcorn… Are our cellphones actually popping our brains? Do you realize that in order to pop corn kernels, the kernel flips inside outm and puffs out forcibly, expanding, as if it were blown up or something… imagine our brain doing that. Ick. And to think I learned this three days after I got my nifty Glyde. So I stick to texting. I think that some of the best ways to prevent all of this is to either use land phones, text or use speakerphone on your cell. That way, you can hold the phone away from you… texting doesn’t even require you to listen to anything, so your fine there, and land phones (ie, phones that aren’t cellphones) are ususally plugged in or something. You know, I’m no scientist, so I really don’t know the cause for the popping corn thing, and I don’t know if land phones pop corn. Why don’t you try it out and see? Yeah, I’ve seen people talk on there phones for hours… unlimited minutes, poor them. Like that girl on that one old at &t commercial… I think. She’s talking for several hourse on her phone, and these at & t employees are smiling and tracking her time.
So think carefully the next time you pick up to answer a call from your Uncle in Vermont… think carefully the next time you attempt to pop corn with your cellphone… who knows what could happen……
