Mobile Phone Transmitter Causes Brain Tumours?

Peter writes "Seven staff in the one building have been diagnosed with brain tumours, and everything seems to be pointing to the mobile phone towers located on the roof. The building is owned by RMIT University and an investigation is taking place. Five of the seven staff worked on the top floor of the building. Medical experts contacted by The Age Newspaper said no definitive link had been proved between mobile phone tower radiation and cancer."

tumor or tumour?

I suppose you're going to tell me that it's a bad idea to stick my head in a running microwave oven, too, eh?

It is slightly ironic that the Managers, and people who were really vying for such great office views, were the ones to be struck down. One for the little people.

And how do you tell if a Manager has a brain tumour? His head doesn't sound quite so hollow when you hit it with a bat?

Heh - the aircon at my previous employer was known as the "sickness recycling system".

Re:A little story about mobile phone towers

[deathcow]

I dont blame the natives, it's scary having one of those antenna nearby. I moved into my house here in Alaska 10 years ago, I was a spry 26 years old and felt healthy all the time.

Now, about 5 years ago a cell phone tower was installed in lot adjacent to us, maybe 350 feet from our house (and I telecommute so I am exposed to it all the time.)

After five years of exposure to this tower, I've become very sedentary, I've stopped riding my mountain bike years ago, and I frequently end up working all day sitting in front of the computer with just short breaks. The cell tower has also bloomed my Coca Cola intake level, and I've put on about 45 pounds of unwanted weight. I feel less healthy than ever now.
