The latest on both is that the brain tumor issue was unfounded and was based
on "red herring" research.  The issue re: cell phones blowing up refueling
cars is simply urban myth and has no basis in fact.  You would have to have
a capacitive discharge great enough to start oxidation of the petrol (tip o'
the hat to Deri) vapors.  Frankly, gasoline does not oxidize as easily as
you might think.

Actually Bobby, I saw the brain tumor report recently on either 20/20 or
Dateline.  Sounded pretty logical to me.  Maybe it sounded logical 'cause
I'm
not an owner of a cell phone and I'm just justifying not having one!
