When all the cool kids with cell phones die of brain cancer in the next decade, I'm going to be around to start a new civilization based on tin cans and string. Not because it would be practical, but because it would look weird.

Apparently just worrying about getting cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer. It's kind of like trying to make a light. If you stare at it as you're speeding towards the intersection, it will quickly turn yellow then red. If you ignore it and don't speed through, it stays green. Try it!
