As if the vague threat of
malignant tumorous cranial growths wasn't enough of a cellphone turnoff, the U.K's Royal Society published a report
suggesting that live phones left near the area's area could
inhibit sperm production and quality, which corroborates
with prior evidence from a study performed at the University
of Newcastle on mice sperm. In other words, if you're trying to have a kid (uhh) and don't want it to have 7 arms,
you might want to switch that radio off—or at least move it to your breast pocket where it'll interact unpredictably
with your heart implant.

Do the effects differ in a statistically significant magnitude from a warm block of wood? The testicles are in the scrotum because they need to be kept away from the bodies heat to preserve the sperm. Heat up your scrotum and they are no longer protected, so they die. Pretty predictable.
I dunno, as the father of a very healthy and very unexpected 2 month old, it doesn't affect the quality or quantity of anything... maybe I need to start carrying a SLN3180 bagphone around instead.
They say the same thing about Hot tubs...that they make you sterile. But 'otakucode' is pretty much on it with his explaination. The sperm die from heat. Not the testicles themselves, or your dna...just the ones that are already locked and loaded.
With cellphone radiation...who knows. My guess is that unless you have a habit of answering a call on your celly, using a headset, and then cramming your phone in your underwear you probably don't need to worry too much. Cell phones don't emit much radiation unless you're talking on them.
It should probably be explicitly mentioned (to cover any and all possibilites of liability for the mighty E or myself) that:
Hot Tubs and Cellphones are not a viable or in any way reliable means of contraception and do not protect the user from sexually transmitted diseases.
Jeff- I think at that point they start calling them sackphones. . .
What does "live phones" entail?
people who comeup with these lame and stupid excusis to "scare" people away from phones need to be bitch slaped for 48hr ........then locked in a room full of phones constantly ringing.....
ahhh it all comes out even in the end...

I say let em die, part of natural selection, the sperm resistant to the cell phone radiation will live, make babies, and we wont have this problem anymore
"area's area". What is that, a Faustian use of the word "area"? Nice. ;-/
Why are all of these studies happening overseas? Sure is a lot of studies arounds phones and area 51, if you know what I mean..
I'm surprised nobody has made any phone sex jokes yet.
It's like in the Friend's pilot, where Chandler looks down, and there's a phone...*there*. People have kept phones there for a long time.
So that explains why Japan's national birthrate has plummeted over the past few years and is now at an all time low....
