bad news for heavy cell phone users
If I got a dime every time I read an ad with purloined photos I could retire right now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QjS0AbRpAo Andenzi, izimvo zakho ziyaba.

I don't explicitly disagree, fuck, everything in this stupid world could possibly lead to cancer. But the fact that the front page says "cancerogenic" makes me doubt the validity of this study.
The term is carcinogenic. I know this, and my scientific training is limited to 10th grade biology. I may just be a stickler for detail though.

I haven't bothered to fully evaluate the evidence, but it seems like there are some meta-analyses/journal articles in the literature showing a somewhat increased risk at 10 years of usage...

There are other articles on pubmed too... for those who want to research further.
In general, brain tumors suck:
Vestibular Schwannomas (also less accurately termed acoustic neuromas) are annoying, but not terrible...
Gliomas are generally really bad tumors... (these are the ones the kill you in <1 year and have no good treatment)
Meningiomas... reasonably curable...
I probably should put on my tin foil hat or start alternating using my left and right ears to spread out the exposure...

That will eliminate lots of women in the future... whenever I see someone in the street with a cell phone glued to their ear, 99% that it's a woman...
Insert funny quote here

Does that mean the males of the future are going to have a lot of cancer in the thigh area. Shit, worst case scenario would be an exponential growth in testicular cancer rates.

Normally there are more guys at a generation's birth then when they reach age 30 because guys are so good at killing themselves off doing stupid shit (this is true cross-culturally), so its normal to see slightly more girls than guys in an adult population... but I wonder if cancer will level the playing field so to speak, particularly with cancers like skin cancer from tanning.
If the cell phones stick to normal RF generation I don't see the danger, but if they're producing microwaves than all safety bets are off.
And maybe its easier to withdraw from life
With all of its misery and wretched lies
If we're dead when tomorrow's gone
The Big Machine will just move on
Still we cling afraid we'll fall
Clinging like the memory which haunts us all
