Basically they consider radiation from cell phones as possibly carcinogenic and classified them as Grouop 2B. I looked it up and Lead was on that list:

I dunno, if your hand mutates and you grow an extra finger or two it could be beneficial.

Unless you grow a d-pad and buttons, it's still doomed.

Well if that's true then we're all fucked, with the billions of cellphones and comparable wireless devices out there today. Even if you don't own one...

They recommend you keep it 2 cm away from your body, or something like that.

Now i have a perfectly valid reason why I will be using my bluetooth much more often. I wonder if that also causes problems....

That's been a running joke for years now, though one that's been more discredited lately. I guess some comedians paid the WHO off :P

Between Cellphones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, we're all pretty much fucked anyway as a species. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are believed to be linked to poorer male fertility but not sure about cancer though. But still. 

Honestly you know what, with humans raping the world's environment and resources and cheating death with modernized medicine, it's only natural that things would balance themselves out like this. All of this affluence puts a big drain on our planet and it's only fitting that our own affluence sterilizes and kills us.
