Interesting video here of our beloved cell phone in action. Let's be glad our e-smoking devices have electro-magnetic shielding (so manufacturers say). Oh, and guys, don't carry a cell phone in a front pocket of your pants! Don't even imagine what it might do to your sperm cells.

Google it, and you will find lots of theories, for example:
Cell Phone Popcorn?

viral vids for a wireless headset company it turned out after much speculation. 3 circulated all at the same time. always wondered how they did them though. no-one had any good solutions. in fairness to tb, these were believed by the majority when they first aired.

Premature Cell Phone Ejection (PCPE) Bob?

I think they make a pill for that or something...

The fear is cellular dysfunction. But if it lasts more than 4 hours, I'm telling the neighbors -- and ordering a refill.
