    I like PIE!!!

    Oh by the way, at "Happyland" where I work, the wise TV engineers, my friends and coworkers, just bought a really nice, expensive, accurate, EMF Meter!
    Yes, this means that next week, the meter is mine to use![​IMG]
    There will be a new thread started....
    The 2008 Prius, and other things, EMF measurements!
    Stay tuned! This should be FUN!!! [​IMG]

    Forgive me, but I don't want to read five pages of this. Have we covered Part 15, Class B?

    In my college summers, I worked Master Control at WOR-TV on the 83rd floor of the Empire State Building. In those days, every V and U in NYC had its transmitters in the ESB. (WOR was unique in having Engineering, MC, and Telecine there, too.)

    Some of those folks had been working there since the B25 flew into the 79th floor, back in '49.

    All those people, under all that radiation. For years and years. If there were a spike in two-headed babies or cancer of the earlobe, you'd think somebody would have noticed it.

    You know what ws cool? The windows opened.

    Well, that explains it. In modern buildings you can't open the windows to let the EMF escape.

    :rolleyes:

    Baaaah, are you my Father?(Highlands farmer;))
    Take a deep breath and then laugh, life is short and if you don't have a lead skull cap on, shorter.
    Of course the emr in a prius is overwhelming, but less so then the microwaves pouring through every object on this rock, and let's not start on either wind.
    Back up and punt, your sense of irony will be useful here.

    I think most people who worry about things like this should do a bit of research on the bad effects of worrying. Now that IS scary.

    Probably less than the radiation in your dryer lint trap. And yes, the lint has measurable radiation after using your dryer.
