All you guys with cell phones permanently attached to your heads should read this:



http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/07/24/p...out-cellphones/





Think the cellphone companies are going to tell you about this? This guy will be labelled as a nut and the industry will cite studies (which they financed) that discredit his findings. His body will probably be found in the bushes alongside some backroad somewhere. It's Silkwood all over again!



Seriously, the side of my head gets hot when I talk on the cell. Anybody else ever notice that?

How long are you talking on your cell for it to get hot? Most of my calls are less than 1 or 2 minutes.

Most of my calls are short too. In fact, I'm on a prepaid plan and I don't use it much at all. Sometimes, though, you get to talking to someone who's long-winded and it'll go on for 10 or 15 minutes. That's long enough to get a hot head.

Mine was designed in the 90's so you can be trapped in a solid iron box and still be able to call china at 30 cents/second.
