How To Cook an Egg with Mobile Phones

It might add it takes aproximently 2 minutes of speaking on a cellular phone for the radiation to cross the protective Blood Brain Barrier. So when ever there is a land line available use it in preference to your cell.

Enjoy the interesting article I received from the Raw Family...

How Two Russian Journalists Cooked an Egg with their Mobile Phones

Vladimir Lagovski and Andrei Moiseynko from Komsomolskaya Pravda Newspaper in Moscow decided to learn first-hand how harmful cell phones are. There is no magic in cooking with your cell phone. The secret is in the radio waves that the cell phone radiates.

The journalists created a simple microwave structure as shown in the picture. They called from one cell phone to the other and left both phones on talking mode. They placed a tape recorder next to phones to imitate sounds of speaking so the phones would stay on.

After, 15 minutes: The egg became slightly warm.

25 minutes: The egg became very warm.

40 minutes: The egg became very hot.

65 minutes: The egg was cooked. (As you can see.)

Conclusion ..1: Cooking eggs with mobile phones is possible but very expensive ($4.55 or 123 Rubles)

Conclusion ..2: All this talk of danger is exaggerated; even if your brain gets cooked, it would take a couple hours of talking on a cell phone.

Conclusion ..3: We dont recommend carrying cell phone in your pants.

Until the US has been in Iraq longer than in World War II

We're counting from the day Germany declared war on the US (December 11, 1941) to VE day (May 8, 1945). This is 1244 days. The Invasion of Iraq began on March 20, 2003 at 21:34 EST when the US began their first air strike on Baghdad.

On August 15, 2006 21:30 EST the United States will have been at war in Iraq longer than it was at war with Germany in World War II.

Please note: Several astute readers have pointed out that this page makes no mention of the United State's occupation of Germany following World War II. We are aware that our comparison is largely unfair. We are not attempting to be deceptive, but rather we are trying to make a point and hopefully force people to think about the current state of affairs.

Teens Using Ring Tones Adults Can't Hear

Teens are taking their ingenuity to a new level by installing a ring tone with a high-frequency buzz that most adults can't hear so they can use their phones to text-message in classrooms, according to reports in England.

Known as "Teen Buzz," it is spread from phone to phone via text message and Bluetooth technology, the Daily Mail said.

The sound was being used in a device called the Mosquito, which was marketed to help store owners in England repel teenagers from loitering outside their shops.

The high-pitch sound is irritating for teenagers but most adults can't hear it because over the age of 20, most adults are unable to hear that frequency (between 18 to 20 kHz), according to Mosquito manufacturer Compound Security. It is based on the medical phenomenon known as presbycusis, or age-related hearing loss, Compound Security said.

A school teacher in England discovered the scam being used by his students.

"All the kids were laughing about something, but I didn't know what ... They could all hear somebody's phone ringing but I couldn't hear a thing," he told reporters.

i am in love with my best friend. he is the sweetest guy (i'm a girl). but it doesn't stop with him, i really like my other really close guy friend. i would tell them, but it would ruin our friendships. i wish we all weren't christains or i'd fuck them both.

my hubby and i seperated a year ago because i was cheating on him and never told him. we got back together and now the man i cheated with wants me back and said he loves me, and i'm thinking about going back with him. i feel awful and don't want to hurt my hubby again.

I just finished watching Bridget Jones's Diary for the 2nd time. I'm a 27 year old guy, and I really liked it...and I can't wait to see the sequel.

2 years ago I lost my virginity to a one night stand. To make matters worse, he was way older than me and not that good looking. I wish I could take back what I did so that I could have saved myself for a very special guy.

Had I had a gun, I would likely have shot myself the other week. Depression is an odd state. I appreciate the good times as well as the bad, and that the when the good is really good it makes up for the bad being really bad.

Pope Revisits his Hitler Youth

Pope revisits his Hitler youth

Pope Benedict XVI has visited the former Nazi death camps of Auschwitz and Birkenau to finish his Polish visit. The German-born Pope prayed for peace in his native tongue during a somber ceremony.

"In a place like this, words fail," lamented the Pope. "In the end, there can only be a dread silence - a silence which is itself a heartfelt cry to God: Why, Lord, did you remain silent? How could you tolerate all this?"

Some might ask Pope Benny the same question, considering that he was formerly a member of the Hitler Youth, and watched Jews being herded into death camps while stationed in Hungary.

The prayer by God's Rottweiler was the first time he had publicly spoken German during his visit to Poland. There had been some uncertainty and controversy as to whether the Pope should speak in German while in the death camps. Some Jewish groups had said that speaking the language of the Nazis would insult the memory of the people murdered there.

The 79-year-old pontiff lit a candle in memory of the victims of Auschwitz, before meeting 32 survivors of the horrors. However, he made no apology on behalf of his German countrymen, and pointedly did not make a direct reference to anti-Semitism.

It is believed that at least 1.1 million people were killed in the death camps during the Holocaust, over 90% of whom were Jews.

Impedending US police state

Top Ten Signs of the Impending U.S. Police State

Bush has famously never vetoed a bill. This is because he prefers to simply nullify laws he doesn’t like with “signing statements.” Bush has issued over 700 such statements, twice as many as all previous presidents combined. A few examples of recently passed laws and their corresponding dismissals, courtesy of the Boston Globe:

Dec. 30, 2005: US interrogators cannot torture prisoners or otherwise subject them to cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment.

Bush's signing statement: The president, as commander in chief, can waive the torture ban if he decides that harsh interrogation techniques will assist in preventing terrorist attacks.

Dec. 30: When requested, scientific information ''prepared by government researchers and scientists shall be transmitted [to Congress] uncensored and without delay."

Dec. 23, 2004: Forbids US troops in Colombia from participating in any combat against rebels, except in cases of self-defense. Caps the number of US troops allowed in Colombia at 800.

Bush's signing statement: The president can tell researchers to withhold any information from Congress if he decides its disclosure could impair foreign relations, national security, or the workings of the executive branch.

Bush's signing statement: Only the president, as commander in chief, can place restrictions on the use of US armed forces, so the executive branch will construe the law ''as advisory in nature."

Munch painting stolen!

The Scream is the Norwegian painter's most iconic work

An Edvard Munch painting worth an estimated £70,000 has been stolen from a private home in southern Sweden.

Police tightened up border controls after the theft from the manor house near Horby, about 360 miles (580km) south of Stockholm.

"The thieves just broke open one of the doors, removed the painting and left," police spokesman Per Jansson told the Associated Press news agency.

A version of Munch's The Scream remains missing after being stolen in 2004.

Police said they did not know the title of the painting taken in the latest theft, which happened late on Tuesday.

Two masked armed robbers stole versions of The Scream and Madonna from the Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway, in August 2004 as gallery visitors looked on.

The thieves have not been convicted and the paintings are still missing, despite an international search and the offer of a reward.

Earlier this month, three men were jailed for up to eight years for being accomplices to the heist.

The Norwegian artist died in 1944.
