Charge Nokia Phone using Peepal Leaves - HOAX

Referring to a news by National News Agency,Nepal, few Newspaper daily made headlines regarding 'Charge Nokia battery using Two peepal leaves'.According to this hoax, using two peepal leaves and attaching it to the charging nodes of nokia battery, would charge the battery within 10 seconds. I see no botanical explanation how is it possible. I've read some facts about bio-gas,that's proven and practical things. But regarding this
hoax, i don't know why people are not using their common sense. Those unprocessed peepal leaves would do no way the miracle.

To my dismay, some popular blogs of Nepal have emphasized on this topic. May be researchers are not interested on this type of hoax or may be not releasing any Public notice because of falling prey to such hoax. There is no scientific reason at all if it's possible. If it would work that way, i'm sure, a mobile phone company would loose a part of their mobile accessory manufacturing profits.

Lastly, don't fall for such hoax. If you've tried or experimented using peepal leaves to charge your Nokia Cell phone, then i don't blame you. First time mistake is human nature, Second time committing mistake is stupid and third time committing mistake is 100% fool stamp. Don't be a fool.
