It’s what I’m here for! If you act quickly, you can go be outraged with Slef at Texas’ new textbook amendments- he and I are still grumping old-man style about it.

I regret to inform you that Larry King is possibly misleading. Now I am not a scientist, so possibly my conclusions are incorrect, but I have skimmed the paper that has caused this hullabaloo along with numerous accounts of it, and I feel inclined to point out that the conclusions drawn by certain media outlets has been almost fear-mongering (At least, from the American news they show here in Portugal, the Portuguese have not heard about or cared about said study, it seems, judging from their news shows):

1) the methodology was questionable at best- they asked people to try and remember how often they’ve been on the phone in the past X years. This is already going to be inaccurate- I don’t remember the last year of cell phone use, let alone past that, and I doubt many others do either.

2) There was no statistical significance, which means that the cancers (or absence there of) were distributed over cell phone users and non-users (controls) with no preference for either group.

3) Even if there were any statistical significance, the trend, though negligible, is actually downward: “Data from the IARC study showed that overall, mobile telephone users in fact had a lower risk of brain cancer than people who had never used one”

There we go… the scientists in the study claim the methodology was flawed, and I agree, but certainly this study shows if there is any danger it is minuscule. Tell those TV scientists to shove it!

NOTE: I am in support of further research about cell phones, but I am opposed vehemently to TV personalities spouting FUD (like they did with that awful cyber-security “test” on the US a few months ago).

people here are immature. really immature. i showed a ppt that had a map of south korea and it included the sea of japan with east sea in parentheses next to it. the kids freaking flipped. my co even had me go back in the ppt to the slide. had them look at it and the kids started screaming “japan die”. “what do you mean they call it sea of japan?” normally, i just smile and grit my teeth but this time i said “hate to break it to you but everyone in the world call this the sea of japan” in a sarcastic tone. they probably didn’t understand that but i felt better.
