now i know there have been some rumors about the possibility of cellphones causing brain tumors. i have been using a cellphone since about 2003 and i can assure all three of you that there is no harm in using cellphones. to prove this i just did the multiplication tables (1 through 9) and recalled all of the 87 states in alphabetical order. and you see, my sentiments are also being echoed by the FDA.

recently, the FDA (the same people that recommend all sorts of stuff nobody listens to) questioned a study by the “swedish national institute for working life” correlating cellphone usage to brain cancer. this makes me feel a bit more confident in the competency of the FDA, and really doesn’t change that much any of my presumptions of the swiss. apparently, the swiss (swiss, swedish - whatever) study used “questionnaires” sent to thousands of participants to decide that cellphone usage over time increased the risk of brain cancer. i can just imagine how accurate this study would have to be:

that being said, even if cellphones caused brain cancer, that can’t be that bad, can it? i mean, talking on a cellphone shouldn’t be allowed to make you smarter or cooler - especially if you’re on a crowded subway or bus and that one guy next to you blabbing loudly on his cellphone won’t shut up about “having the numbers on his desk tomorrow morning” and “the smith proposal.” i mean i’d much rather see THAT GUY collapse from some brain malfunction than the guy whose just quietly minding his own business, kicking ass at sudoku.

ps-just so we get one thing straight, my NCAA bracket that was picked via coinflips picked 50% of the final four teams and 50% of the final two teams. now, i’m an expert
