I once read somewhere that you should never talk on your cell phone while pumping gas at the gas station. Could cause an explosion. Always wondered about that one.
Yes. Mythbusters did a great show on this one. Okay so they are not exactly the last word in scientific process, but who else is gonna try to blow up a gas station? Seems the only way they could get the cell phone to cause an explosion was to help it out with a little nitro.

They also tried them on airliners and no mater what they did there was zero effect.
