I had a procedure done in a hospital this morning and I had been in the building for about 30 minutes before we started, when one of the nurses advised me to remove the battery from my cell phone because as she put it, "otherwise the building will kill it".



Perhaps it was coincidence but I then looked at my phone and the battery state of charge was in the toilet. I know it sounds crazy, and I'm embarrassed to even ask, was this just bull**** or is there anything to this? Lenny

That's interesting because I usually keep my phone in my breast pocket. I don't know how I feel about the damn thing irradiating that part of my body at frequencies considered to be just below microwave while continuously stumbling around aimlessly seeking a cell tower just because I'm unfortunate enough to be in a dead spot. Maybe the answer is to just leave the miserable thing off until you really need to use it. Hey people always seemed to be able to find Perry Mason when he was on the road. He was always taking calls on other peoples phones...Lenny


Hmmph, he kept his secretary (Della Street) informed of his whereabouts
and the phone number there.
