So at the Enlight meeting tonight, we were momentarily elated to read on Slashdot<\/a> (the final word on everything that’s right and true in the world) that you can cook an egg with a pair of cell phones<\/a>. Had it been April Fool’s day, we might have been more skeptical, but as it was, Jeni and Erin went back to their apartment and grabbed a couple eggs and a bowl.<\/p>\n

The end result:<\/strong> Colin, Jon and (possibly) Tim get pwned. (I don’t remember whether Tim bought it or not)<\/p>\n

Play by play:<\/strong><\/p>\n

* Somebody reads the article on Slashdot
\n* Erin and Jeni go home and get two eggs and a bowl
\n* Craig and Erin’s cell phones are selected for the attempt
\n* No signal in the conference room, so they and Jeni moved out into ECB somewhere to try.
\n* Several minutes go by
\n* Erin comes back in for the other egg
\n* Several more minutes go by
\n* The trio comes back with their two eggs, and insists on cracking them open just to see, despite the fact that we had meanwhile been reading how there’s barely enough energy to pull it off even if you were to short the battery out through the raw egg.
\n* The first egg is opened, and comes out partially whitened (cooked).
\n* Colin and Jon are amazed, and maybe Tim, who I didn’t really look at.
\n* The second (un-cellphone-zapped) egg is cracked open for comparison. Indeed the first one has been cooked.
\n* Completely missing the warning signs of the first egg being rather warm, Erin laughing uncontrollably, and Jeni looking at her like “shut up you’re ruining it”, Colin takes a picture of the “cellphone-cooked” egg next to its uncooked counterpart. (Reference Exhibit A).
\n* I realize we’ve been had, and the truth comes out.<\/p>\n

Nice one guys.<\/p>\n

Oh, and we also found out tonight that Jeni has a better (lower) Slashdot user ID than me, by like 13,000. And people call me<\/em> a nerd. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Exhibit A<\/strong>
