Cell phones: bad for your brain ... uh, wait a minute on that. Maybe not so bad.

New study suggests it's possible that using cell phones may help prevent some of the effects of Alzheimer's disease.

Caveat: So far, results only found in mice.

Caveat to the caveat: The mice in question were genetically modified to develop Alzheimer's disease for lab testing purposes.

I like this better than imagining the walnut-shaped tumor my four hours a day on the phone has formed on the right side of my brain.

 

My provider sucks so bad at my house I just say fuck it and use the land line. Hell, I'm paying for 60 free long distance minutes a month, might as well use them. Only reason I have a land line is for my DSL.

 

I hate it when I get behind a mouse driving in the left lane and then when I finally pass it on the right it's talking on the cell phone. But at least he's less likely to get alzheimer's.

 

As usual, you're . . .





Not a mouse, but a hamster.

 

That gave me one hell of a laugh.
