The best "news" story I've ever seen was a local reporter testing the theory that you can "fry an egg" on the hot summer sidewalk or on the dashboard of a car.
Obviously, since neither the sidewalk nor the dashboard remotely approached the typical temperature at which you'd fry an egg (well above water's boiling point), she just wound up making a big goopy egg mess all over some poor schmuck's dashboard.
