Nobody is comparing unboiling an egg to a candy bar melting. And nobody cares whether body heat or Arizona typically melt candy bars (they do) since it's totally irrelevant to the Percy Spencer story. Please tell me you read this thread from the beginning?
To repeat: "OP just means the headline is talking only about the somewhat mundane event, not the much bigger implications." And, yes, unboiling an egg is a mundane headline when compared to its much bigger implications.
- wuliwong 12y agoMundane basically means common. Unboiling an egg is not common, a candy bar melting in one's pocket is common.
- bronson 12y agoPlease don't omit the "when compared to" clause. Driving is mundane when compared to flying a fighter jet in combat. But driving is not mundane. And I don't understand why you're still saying the candy bar melting in Spencer's pocket isn't surprising. It's his story. Spencer himself said it was surprising. Can't you take his word for it?
