Hmmmm, I don’t know why a device that operates near the same radio frequency as certain microwave ovens would be considered bad for your health? Wonder what else operates at 2450 MHz?

A new medical study has shown a correlation between low sperm count and high mobile phone usage, suggesting that mobile phones usage could affect male fertility.

A team led by Ashok Agarwal at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio found that out of 361 infertility patients, those that had the lowest sperm count and sperm with the lowest motility used their mobiles more than four hours a day. They produced 40% less sperm than those who didn’t use phones at all.

Other studies have also shown that close exposure to radiation from mobile phones also damages sperm in the lab.

*Shuts off laptop, and phone* My kids are going to have gills. Seriously though, this is only a study and the operative word in the above quote was suggesting, there no scientific conclusion yet – and I don’t expect one in my lifetime.

    Man, that stuff’s scary!

    almost as scary as fox news. Today, at a genetics conference, I was told that there is some cancer that can be spread by a virus, and that stem cells cause cancer. A few weeks ago, we heard that NC has the atom bomb. The world is a scary place indeed.

    This is crap. How many of you men are actively trying to bear children, but are failing? I’ve heard crap like this for my whole life: don’t do that it’ll make you sterile!

    If you are a smart person you would know that the world doesn’t need your spawn. If you are not smart, then the world REALLY doesn’t need your spawn.

    Ladies: rejoice in low sperm counts. Your freedom may depend on it.

    …man, someone really needs to be knocked up. * not pointing fingers*

    From now on I’ll be keeping my mobile in my breast pocket; I’d rather have brain cancer (or whatever you can get from having your brain fried) then lose my sperm activity.

    Here’s my serious 2cents: People who use their mobile phones for more then 4 hours are busy people for sure (duh!), which means that they’ve surely got stuff to stress them out (now you see my point). Maybe THAT’s what’s lowering the sperm count.

    In this day and age, people without a mobile phone must be the most relaxed people on earth. No stress to affect the sess (that’s “sex” in my language). So with a similar test, they could find out that people who wear suits have a smaller chance of procreating, then people who sit on couches

    Anyone agree with me that it’s just a coincidence?

  5. It looks like we found a replacement for condoms.

    Ow, my sperm!
