Interesting story this one, from the Independent. Apparently, Bees all over the world are going missing. Now while the Independent is casting the shadow of blame upon mobile phones, I want folk to consider another explanation. For squillions of years, worker bees have lived under the oppressive yolk of their dictatorial queen bees without proper freedoms. It's quite obvious to me that the American government have been liberating these oppressed bees.
What? It's just as plausible as "mobile phones give bees brain tumours" isn't it?
Just to give you a more grounded alternative explanation, there are studies that suggest that some newer pesticides might be playing a factor. I do quite like the fact that we're still using "Argh mobile phones will destroy your brain and boil eggs" as our default explanation for any phenomena we don't like.
Though perhaps the decline of modern society could be being caused by all this mobile phone radiation floating around in the sky. I can see the headlines already - "Mobile phones damage politeness centres in brain".

I believe the claims about mobile phones destroying brain cells.
How the fuck else would you explain George Bush and Tony Blair both losing their minds at the same time, at other ends of the planet?
