Death Valley Rangers Tell People To Stop Frying Eggs

Some time, a good intention to tell people how bad it is can have an opposite consequence.

The Death Valley National Park authorities tried to show just how hot the temperature is there by frying an egg in a skillet using just the heat from the sun. The video was uploaded on YouTube, and that's when stupid amateurs from all over started flocking into Death Valley and attempted their own egg frying. Unfortunately, they created a mess.

“An employee's posting of frying an egg in a pan in Death Valley was intended to demonstrate how hot it can get here, with the recommendation that if you do this, use a pan or tin foil and properly dispose of the contents. However, the Death Valley NP maintenance crew has been busy cleaning up eggs cracked directly on the sidewalk, including egg cartons and shells strewn across the parking lot.

This is your national park, please put trash in the garbage or recycle bins provided and don’t crack eggs on the sidewalks, or the Salt Playa at Badwater. (nm)”

There are just stupid people out there, folks! They are the reason why the gene pool needs some chlorine.
