Study Suggests Link Between Cell Phone Use, Low Sperm Count
If you're man thinking about having kids, you might want to cut back on your cell phone use.
That's the preliminary finding of a study done by The Cleveland Clinic, which found statistically that men who used their cell phones the most had poorer sperm quality than those who used them the least.
The average sperm count among men who said they did not use cell phones was 86 million per milliliter (mL), compared with 76 million/mL for men who used cell phones less than two hours a day and 71 million/mL for men who used cell phones two to four hours a day.
I haven't crunched any numbers, but how long would it take somebody to count 86 million sperm. I mean, that must take the better part of an 8 hour workday I'd think. Who, other than the Count on Sesame Street, would actually want to sit there and count sperm for a living. It all sounds really wierd to me.
I don't care I guess, I'm taken care of in this department, if you know what I mean. Snip, snip. We wanted two kids, we planned the time to have our two kids, my boys were ready, and we had two kids. That was all before I started using cell phones. Timing is everything in life. I don't want to brag, but I must have had over 100,000,000 of those little guys.

It seemed like a good idea at the time. I'm going to have to do a post on that experience; I had a really bizarre doctor who came out with some unbelievable quotes during the pre-op physical and the actual procedure. My wife was there during the procedure and she also has a story to tell; evidently I was running off at the mouth the whole time, even though I don't remember a bit of it (they use some pretty good drugs; they should give that to the detainees at Guantanamo, they'd be singing like canaries)
Has anyone thought about the lil swimmers' feelings in all of this? Do you really think they want to be ejected and counted like that? I'm for "swimmer rights".
