A Chinese man has aroused the suspicion of his neighbors and authorities after claiming he can cook eggs on the floor of his home.

Liu Yawen said he first learned of the unusual "capability" of his floor while he was cleaning it with a wet cloth when it suddenly gave off steam.

He said he got an egg and poured it on the floor which was cooked after 10 minutes.

Neighbors are now trooping his house to see the "miracle," while authorities are investigating the source of the unusual heat under Liu's home.

But experts are still baffled why his home is so hot. In the meantime, Liu is enjoying more visitors from curious crowds and relatives who want to get a glimpse of him cooking eggs on his floor.
