British journal The Times featured a story on parents pushing for the dismantling of wi-fi infrastructure in schools as reports have indicated the dangers of 801.11 radio.
The article cites the cause of parental concern:
…low levels of microwave radiation emitted by the transmitters could be harmful, causing loss of concentration, headaches, fatigue, memory and behavioural problems and possibly cancer in the long term. Scientific evidence is inconclusive, but some researchers think that children are vulnerable because of their thinner skulls and developing nervous systems.

Another trip to the doctor (a different doctor, second opinion to ease my paranoia) and the doctor was weirded out.

Five days since I’ve experienced weird sensations in my abdominal region and I am under observation for hyperacidity/ulcers. At first I was too paranoid of appendicitis but the pain has not localized to anywhere the the spot where it is supposed to hurt. Still, the doctor is not ruling it out as any possibility of other complications so I am observing myself.

Aaah. Sweet October nearly gone. Oktoberfest dusk is nigh. The kegs of San Miguel downed and boxes of paracetamol and ibuprofen chewed the mornings-after. And perhaps the occasional shrieks of horror from waking up in some other person’s bedroom. Or some toilet cubicle.
I never get to enjoy Oktoberfests. For one, I never was a big fan of beer or liquor in general. While friends were chugging fermented malt and hops and gin blossoms, and whatnot down their throats, I was the one sipping iced tea. I always have volunteered to be the designated driver mainly because I knew I’d rather have tea in my bladder than some 90 proof vodka eat my liver out.
Well, not to be hypocritical I got drunk twice or so but at least I only got to be piss-headed with friends not in public. I just don’t get the point of throwing up mixes of alcohol and digestive fluids for everyone to see. And hurled puke (pronounced “pyook” not the Tagalog for…) is not a pretty sight.
