Danger Of Strong Electromagnetic Fields

blueworld writes "U.S. Department of Energy researchers have discovered a possible cause for reported illness around high voltage power lines. They found that rats' bodies produced high levels of ozone when exposed to strong electrical fields. Electrically grounded water produced the same result when exposed to the fields. Apparently, the water in our bodies may be responsible for the health risks of high voltage power lines."

Lucas holds up Indy 4

Mods, I know many of you will want to mod this as Offtopic but I ask you to please just let it be so that others can read this. This is something of interest to many of us but would never become a slashdot article. Thus, printing it here in the Comments section is the only way others will be able to see it.

From the imdb.com today:

Legendary film-maker George Lucas is delaying the filming of the long- awaited Indiana Jones 4 - because he's unhappy with the script. The Star Wars director, who's acting as executive producer alongside director Steven Spielberg, is allegedly dissatisfied with the screenplay handed in by Shawshank Redemption director Frank Darabont. And it now seems the sequel's projected 2005 release date is unlikely to be met, with shooting on the Harrison Ford-starring movie now likely to start next year instead.

Wait, what you're saying is....

The answer to the hole in the ozone layer is to install high-tension power lines in Antartica and tape millions of rats to the lines?
