Cellphone popcorn
If this is true, then we're all in some deep sh!t. Hopefully, it's just a silly prank...but if it is, it's not that funny, considering some people talk on their phones even 8 to 10 hours every day.

There could be a simple explanation...
(0.14g)*(100�C-3 to turn the water to steam requires he latent heat of vaporization, which is 2259J/g.
2259J*0.14g= 316J
for a total of 316J 41J = 357J.
Wattage = Joules/seconds. If it took about 5 seconds to turn the water in the popcorn kernel to steam, then the wattage required was:
357J/5sec = 71W assuming all power from the cell phone transmitter went into the kernel.
Cell phones typically have 0.75W-1W transmitters in them. With a 1W transmitter, it would take,
334J/1W = 334secs, if all power is transfered to the kernel.
