They were all purchased by Kent Hovind.

Post by: CoconutMikeNIke on March 18, 2011, 10:21:28 AM: ... Because you believe there is a correlation between people that are ill informed about a current disaster and people that have a moderate to busy social schedule? Or is it due to some old man, Andy Rooney rant?

Post by: ShadowBrain on March 18, 2011, 11:21:17 AM: No, I mean the long-term effects of consistent exposure to Wi-Fi, cell phone signals, and such. I know it's not the same kind of radiation, but I just think there's an interesting contrast to be theoretically observed here in how people respond to highly publicized, exciting-sounding danger versus more subtle risks.

That chart is so wrongzos. Everyone's already concluded that it's fairly inaccurate. And I know nothing about nuclear or radiation-related jazz, but how could it reach that far anyway even if this was true?
