San Francisco Requires Cell Phone Radiation Warnings
Lord Ender writes "Poor phone reception may soon be a selling point in San Francisco. A city ordinance was just approved which requires those selling phones to indicate the 'specific absorption rate' (SAR) caused by the radio transmitters in the phones. Cell phone industry groups opposed the law. The FCC already requires phones sold in the US to have SAR levels below 1.6 W/kg, though adverse health effects from such levels of radio exposure have never been conclusively demonstrated."
WARNING: The Sun is radioactive! Avoid using it to make phone calls. -- San Francisco.

What about second hand radiation? Maybe they should only call in their own homes!
What are you complaining about? I went the dentist and then the urologist a few years ago, and then attempted to drive over the Williamsburg bridge. Six ATF guys pulled me over because their radiation detector went off... I don't want to remember the rest of it.
Just like a bunch of Californian wussies to get all worried about a little bit of cell phone radiation, when we have FREAKING UFO's flying around everywhere.
Did anybody tell them that when the wind blows East to West that dust from the Trinity site settles in the fog?
Put sharp 1 inch spikes on the phone. They will have the added benefit of preventing pigeons from landing on your phone.
shouldn't be too hard to get a group of long term radio and cell phone users together
Be careful about stopping by the local HAM club and doing a health survey. Long-term radio use seems to cause geekery, pudginess, beer cravings, and a tendency to use linux.
My God, it's Full of Source!

I guess they could just cut you open and have a look around instead.
A man can handle 100 X-Rays a year, and should have to.
The Kruger Dunning explains most post on
As soon as you hear the xray machine go on, yell "Owww!"
They love jokes like that!
Have you had an implant? My dentist is telling me to get one (have a missing tooth) and the estimate is between $4000 and $5000. That seems a bit outrageous to me. Just wondering if you (or anybody else) has data to compare.
I told my dentist I'll get an implant in Mexico and he just laughed at me.
I may not always get x-rays, but when I do, I get 100 of them.
What are you talking about? This is the home of quantum metaphysics. Without them we wouldn't have known about the healing power of pyramids and rocks.
