Officials the Death Valley National Park have appealed to visitors to refrain trying to fry eggs rocks or the ground. The park has been inundated visitors trying to test the theory that it is hot enough to fry an egg ever since a park employee posted a video YouTube her attempts to do so. The online clip, with soaring temperatures nearing 50°C and the centennial Wednesday of the hottest temperature ever recorded Earth, encouraged many people to try their own experiment, messy results. Park cleaners are being kept busy cleaning egg shells, discarded egg cartons, and the foul-smelling goo hundreds of unsuccessful attempts a sunny-side up the sun. Park rangers urged people their Facebook page to not fry eggs. It read: "An employee's posting frying an egg in a pan Death Valley was intended to demonstrate how hot it can get here, the recommendation that if you do this, use a pan or tin foil and properly dispose the contents. However, the…maintenance crew has been busy cleaning eggs cracked directly the sidewalk, including egg cartons and shells strewn the parking lot." It added: "Please put trash the garbage or recycle bins provided and don’t crack eggs the sidewalks." A comment the park's YouTube page stated how hot it got Saudi Arabia, joking that, "you can throw a chicken the air and you will catch it cooked".
