This is one for "Mythbusters" since they did cell phones and gasoline already.

No thanks on that one blam baby ;)

The gene deck of cards I was dealt has its 'issues' from my man-mortal pov, but I'll go with the hand I was dealt on that one

Lets figure out how 'we can all get along' to quote RK first because if we don't, it will keep coming up in our face.

Agree?

The screen in the door is not the place where microwaves are prone to leak out. It's the joint between the door and the body of the oven. I'd expect to see scalp and neck burns before any eye damage.

Prof Challis, who is negotiating funding for a long-term international study, said last night: "I agree with the authors that this is a hint that needs further exploration. It's further reason why a long-term study is necessary."

Could it be that he agrees with this study because he wants to get paid to confirm this study.

Follow the money as always.

However when they looked only at people who had used a mobile for 10 years or more, they found that they were 39 per cent more likely than average to get a glioma on the side of their head where they held their handset.

Never once in an article of this type have I seen the baseline given. What is the average chance? .0001%? 30%? So one can't know from this whether ones chances go to .000139% or 41.7%.

Scare mongering at its best.

I thought there was more than one case where the officer manning the radar gun put it between his legs when he wasn't aiming it and ended up with testicular cancer.

Is that what you're talking about?

Pretty screwed up situation if you ax me.

I recall when I first started using a cell phone, I had a strange headache on the side of my head where I held the phone. After a few days it went away. I suppose I should have kept my tin foil hat on while I was using it.
