i understood that :) it was wrong though
*sigh* its the shortwavelenght radiation which causes damage. they're like weak microwaves. how do you think food in a microwave gets cooked? the radiation causes molecules turning the radiotion into heat energy. sperm are fragive. the phone is essentially cooking your balls :) but hey, its up to you whether you believe it or not. i personally am not 100% convinced, but im convinced enough so that im gonna avoid attracting more than my share of trouble ;)

Assuming the ONLY thing radiation can do to your body is kill sperm, what in a cell phone is actually radioactive?

Radioactive elements are elements that are so heavy that they become unstable and start to break apart. (Ex. Uranium) They don't use radioactive elements in making cell phones, that would be stupid and there's no need for them.

If you're saying that the radio waves that it emits communicating with it's server and staying connected to your network can cause damage, radio waves are simply a form of light. They don't hurt you.

I would like to say that a Daddy Long-legs is not a spider. It's a fairly large spindly flying insect that's about as poisonous as a cotton bud.

This is because they can eat other spiders without killing them first. Their poison is stronger than theirs, thus making them the most poisonous.

This poison doesn't effect humans because their 'fangs/teeth' arn't sharp enough to pentrate the skin. If it could, we'd probably be dead lol

bet ya didn't know that :P


HAH!

/me brings out the knowledge he obtained from "Myth Busters" on Discovery Channel


Did you know that it is UNTRUE that they are the most dangerous?

They milked them for poison on the show, and made a toxicologist examine it... nope, no poison (or else it was VERY little, can't remember)... they also got one of them to bite one of the show hosts, and he most certainly lived.

PS: Please don't be such an egomaniac, they live in other places than England. :P


It was very little and it was Adam who was the dummy.

Cuzza, that's irrelevant, though. A toxicologist did not find any worthwhile poison, therefore it could not be dangerous enough. The most dangerous spiders live in Aussieland, I tells ya.

if the fangs are not long enough to pentrate the skin, how on earth will the poison get into the skin. of course he lived you plank. (The reason they are not dangerous to humans is because their fangs are only long enough to penetrate the skin of a spider ie. about .5 of a mm in legnth)
