    Have you heard about The Pentaverate?

    Edit:

    This cover left me scarred for life:

    I love watching popcorn popping in the microwave. I need a flashlight to see inside because the 'wave is lined with mesh.

    To be fair, my aunt was a complete looney-tunes, but I think that was standard early 80s woo.

    I won't tell your daughter she does not exist. I can see that that might upset her. ;-)

    Gale, with all due respect, I'm really hesitant to click on any of the links you've posted lately.

    You should really sit back and give some honest and logical thought to these arricles before posting the links..

    Why you say that? What is it about the $25 million dollar USA study that makes you state that? You do not have like it or believe it. I am aware not all are interesting the science behind understanding the increase in brain cancer. I have a 40 year old friend with this type of cancer. He was told they see it most often in farmers and from cell phone usage. That is why this $25 million dollar study caught my attention. The validity of this subject will be come clear with time. If it is just an age related thing we will not see more cancer in 20 to 30 age group do the road is my guess on the subject.

    Be sure to read the Vox article posted by WakkoW before making up your mind on this:

    http://www.vox.com/2016/5/27/11797924/cellphones-cancer-bad-reporting

    Particularly the last paragraph:
    Note that this is how scientists tend to think about any new study. They take the results seriously, they point to questions that demand further investigation, but they remain skeptical that this is the last word. The press should strive to follow suit.
