don't start seeds next to wifi routers

Here's how they got the idea for the project:
"The girls noticed that if they slept with their mobile phones near their heads at night, they often had difficulty concentrating at school the next day."

They found cress seeds did not grow or grew poorly in a room "next to two routers that according to the girls’ calculations, emitted about the same type of radiation as an ordinary cellphone."

(It's not the wifi itself, it's the proximity to the source that matters.)

Let me guess the most likely cause of their poor cognitive function was lack of sleep most likely caused by boyfriends, want them to be boyfriends, or ex boyfriends either calling or not calling depending on the situation.

There has been debates for years about how much radiation comes from tv, cellphones, power lines/towers, microwaves, etc. If you want to know the truth, keep watching the lawsuit commercials on free tv. They'll keep you up-to-date with what's been killing you lately

Admittedly we have open plan and a large room, but my seedlings are doing just fine with Wi-Fi in the same room......

My man eating Venus fly trap is doing just fine by the router.

But there's obviously something wrong with it if it hasn't caught you yet .

They've made a pact. Worth supplies the plant lesser mortals and in turn the plant keeps intruders away.

Cool idea .

Worth, where can we get seeds for these Intruder-Eating Fly Traps?

Right now all I have is a female fly trap.
I need to do more experiments to get a male man eating fly trap.

A little reluctant to do that the male may become jealous.

My spouse sits next to the router all the time and his lack of concentration can be directly attributed to using that router to play video games until 3 am.

This article contains terrible science and depresses me. And makes me feel less comfortable considering the Waldorf method in general.
