You reside in Californication .... there are no adults in that state ... even Gov. Arnold. He's just a big kid!

by the way, those chemtrails have been around as long as planes have been getting above something like 20K ft. they are termed "con-trails" (condensation trails) by the avaition industry. the reason you don't always see them is the temperature and humidity alot needs to be correct though in the seattle area, we can't tell cause it's always cloudy. piston aircraft leave them, too.

this reminds of the "non-ionizing radiation" thing from the 70s. A group was warning about the dangers of RF and no one would listen so they tried to change the name to non-ionizing radiation to get the hideous R word in there. when people firgured out what they were doing, they got laughed off of the "stage". the reality is there are some dangers but they took a kooky approach and failed totally.

This reminds me. Back in the good ol' 90's, i was told that the air coming out of a Microwave Oven was harmful. Some people used to say that radiation was coming out. I now know(and have for some time), that a Microwave oven uses radio waves to heat the food up(or small object i.e; a fork ). So, what is there to be scared of? I know that a large exposure my kill, but just little short amounts? (Hey! This would be something interesting to see on myth busters!) So, fact or fiction? [also, didn't mean to hijack the thread..]

Microwave radiation from consumer ovens behaves very much like that of HF RF. You get burned internally at first, then the following pain and discomfort notify you too late that you've been zapped. I received an RF burn many years ago from a 100 watt HF transmitter into my forearm and it sure didn't feel good. There was nothing to bandage, nothing to apply medicine to, just internal discomfort and time to heal it. A loose operating microwave oven would certainly do a ton a damage to your internals and externals. I know that if you removed the magnetron and it power supply, powered it up and all that, you'd still risk unhealthy exposure at even 50 feet.

And speaking of Myth Busters, I'll be meeting with those two clowns this Fall. They have a speaking engagement I'll be attending and maybe some hope to attend a dinner with them.

Microwave radiation is obviously a GREAT deal higher in frequency than HF, and works 'better' at cooking your flesh!

However, you would have to work extremely hard for a microwave oven to burn you, there are three interlock switches on the door to prevent it operating with the door open, and even a one inch hole through the glass door and metal grill only leaks a very small amount, well under UK limits, and even under USA limts (the USA limit is 1/10th the UK limit 0.5mW as opposed to 5mW). As ovens are obviously made to one standard, this means that the UK limit is very rarely approached!.

An old friend of mine, unfortunately dead now, worked on radar during WWII, and one adjustment they had to make on a particular unit involved putting your arm inside to adjust something. As a result of this, he had two 'dead spots' on his forearm, where the RF had 'cooked' his flesh - all the engineers involved had the identical damaged arms!.

That will be awesome! Tell us how it goes!

I'm sorry. That would suck.

You bet i reside in californication! Southern california is all about putting on a show with your big truck and your rediculously oversized house, even though you're way in debt. Just to childishly lord it over us "simple folk".

Hitech im insanely jealous of your getting to have dinner with the mythbusters! i love that show

Sorry, just have to point out it is spelled ridiculously. It's the most commonly mispelled word I see.

I can see that you're a gramarian!
