OK. You find yourself lost in the jungle somewhere in Asia. What you are doing in the jungle I have no idea. But your cell has lost it’s power. No problem. You just find yourself some peepal leaves  which I am guessing comes from a peepal tree[?] and you can recharge your cell phone. Just take two of the leaves and touch it to the connectors of your cell battery and you are on your way.

This is totally unbelievable. I got this in a email last week and was asked if this is true or not. So I went on over  to Hoax Slayer and discoved this hoax apparently is circultaing around the Internet. The folks at HS even have a photo of someone actually holding two leaves to a battery.

The message via email states:

Charge mobile with peepal leave

Its very Strange But True Very True.

Now, you do not require any mobile charger to charge your mobiles. Only there is need to use green leaf of peepal tree and after some time your mobile will get charged.

No soon the people came to learn this development, they tested it and found encouraging results. If your mobile has been discharged and you are inside a jungle then you need not to use any charger. You Should pluck two peepal leaves and your work would be done.

It is very good idea and easy to charge your mobile. You would have to open your mobile battery and connect it with peepal leaf. After that without shaking mobile set you should set the battery in your mobile set. After some time your mobile would be charged.

There is more to the bogus email but you get the picture. It is bogus and should be discarded.While you are at HS take a look at some of the other junk that is being sent around the globe. Check out the one about using a cell phone to open your car door when you lock your keys inside.

Comments welcome.
