Experts Revive Debate Over Cellphones and Cancer

What do brain surgeons know about cellphone safety that the rest of us don’t?

Last week, three prominent neurosurgeons told the CNN interviewer Larry King that they did not hold cellphones next to their ears. “I think the safe practice,” said Dr. Keith Black, a surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, “is to use an earpiece so you keep the microwave antenna away from your brain.” [... inconclusive studies ... Senator Kennedy ... Dr. Sanjay Gupta ... blah blah blah....]

What tiki really wants to know is: the people who wear those little blinky-blinky Bluetooth earpiece dealos everywhere they go? Are they statistically more likely to be struck by lightening bolts hurled by an angry and vengeful deity incensed over the sheer stupid????

There was an article the other day about the impending Cali law about no using a handset while driving beginning in July. HOWEVER, you are still 'allowed' to do the following:

1) dial your phone while wearing your headset;
2) text message while driving (either on a phone or a Sidekick, etc.)
3) still be distracted while talking while wearing stupid headset

The article also talked about the proliferation of people wearing the Bluetooth headsets. Now when you 'used' to see people talking & saw no one there - they were usually crazy (or talking to a small child in the car that you couldn't see). Now pets think their owners are crazy when they go walking dog with their headset on. The author said he saw a dog looking puzzled at his owner - who looked like he was talking to a mailbox.
