Cellular Repair
Well I put the phone back together.
Oh, I know what you're probably thinking; "There's no way that thing will work the way it's stuck together!"
I can assure that this is a fully functional cellular telephone. OK, maybe I had to add a few things to keep it all together but the important thing is that all of the parts fit together, though not as snugly as some of the phones owned by my less innovative friends.
Some of you are probably wondering why I didn't take my phone to a qualified service center, or simply purchase a new phone, but those guys are so conventional and they always try to do things by the rules with their fancy test equipment and service manuals. If I showed them my telephone they'd probably say it was beyond repair, it can't be salvaged, and that I should throw away the whole thing. Fools!
See they don't want people like me to repair their own electronic equipment because they earn their paychecks by selling new devices that are designed to break or succumb to planned obsolescence.
Sure my phone isn't as slick and polished looking as those at the cellular store but that's only because I don't have time for aesthetics. I'm a maverick electronic engineer and my phone is superior in every other way. It has a range of several thousand miles and it's powered by cold fusion. It has enough memory to store my entire music and video collection and I can watch satellite broadcasts in High-Def.
If you don't believe everything I've told you about my wonderful cell phone than you are all a bunch of skeptics and non-believers. Good, that means you can probably see through all of the published 'science' claiming to show a connection between thimerosal in vaccines and autism rates.
The whole thimerosal-autism hypothesis is nothing more than a pile of cherry picked citations which have been cobbled together by people with little or no scientific background and a few scientists working outside of their fields of expertise. The pieces may seem to fit but anyone with a little experience reading scientific publications can quickly spot the seams in the fabric.
Sometimes it makes more sense to listen to the professionals, recognize when something is unsalvageable garbage, and just toss the whole thing away. That time has come for the thimerosal hypothesis but there will always be a few hold-outs.

ROTFL! Love it!
I noticed one typo:
"cherry picked citations which have been hobbled together"
That's an interesting visual image, but I think you meant cobbled, didn't you?
Thanks ABFH, all fixed.
That is a nice visual though. :-) Kathy Bates in "Misery"
Hey! I like your phone! It looks like found art. I want one just like it! Maybe you can start a Yahoo! group to share the information you have gained in creating that superior phone of yours. We'll show them "ENGINEERS" who's smart! heh! Specs are for sissies. Who needs the UL seal of approval. UL is run by the CIA anyway....
It offends my paradigm of neatness I would not even do that to my Landie
and do you know what that is full of the devils own metal, Aluminium (yes there is an I in it)
Oh chemists all mourn the electrolytic reaction between Aluminiun and Steel.
Not Mercury,
You should try to sell that phone on Ebay with the same description and see if it sells. Hey, people pay for toast on Ebay don't they.
I think I see some mercury-testosterone sheets in there, and Larry is right, tons of aluminum (no i).
Oh, for the days of the good old, wholesome shoe phone.
I didn't realize 99 had her own style of shoe-phone. I honestly can't remember seeing her use it but I was probably watching the boots and miniskirt.
Hi NM.
Please tell us that you do not work on cars.
;)
Hi NM
Can't find an email for you so have to ask you this way:
From Your Faces of Deth blog:
Deth talking
"The ethylmercury-containing preservative thimerosal inhibited both IGF-1- and dopamine-stimulated methylation with an IC50 of 1 nM and eliminated MS activity. Our findings outline a novel growth factor signaling pathway that regulates MS activity and thereby modulates methylation reactions, including DNA methylation. The potent inhibition of this pathway by ethanol, lead, mercury, aluminum and thimerosal suggests that it may be an important target of neurodevelopmental toxins."

"ELEVATED LEVELS OF GROWTH-RELATED HORMONES IN AUTISM AND
AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER James Louis Mills, Mary L. Hediger, Cynthia A. Molloy,
George P. Chrousos, Patricia Manning-Courtney, Kai F. Yu, Mark Brasington, Lucinda J.
England, NICHD, National Institutes of Health
Background: Autistic children are known to have larger head circumferences; whether they are
also taller and heavier is less clear. Little is known about growth-related hormone levels in autistic
children.
Objectives: To determine whether autistic children were taller, heavier, and have higher levels of
growth-related hormones than control children.
Methods: Boys with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or autism (n= 71) and age-matched controls
(n= 59) had height, weight and head circumference measurements. Blood samples were assayed
for IGF-1, IGF-2, IGFBP3, growth hormone binding protein (GHBP) and for DHEA and DHEAS.
Results: The autism/ASD cases had significantly (p=.03) greater mean head circumferences (zscore
1.24, SD 1.35) than controls (z-score 0.78, SD 0.93). Cases also had significantly (p=.01)
greater weights (z-score 0.91, SD 1.13) than controls (z-score 0.41, SD 1.11). Heights did not
differ significantly between groups (p=.65); however, cases had significantly (p=.003) higher body
mass indices (z-score 0.85, SD 1.19) than controls (z-score 0.24, SD 1.17). The case group_s
levels of IGF-1, IGF-2, IGFBP3 and GHBP were all significantly higher (p<.0001), and cases
were more likely than controls to have detectable levels of DHEAS (41% vs. 24%, p=.03).
Conclusion: Boys with autism/ASD had significantly higher levels of many growth-related
hormones. These findings could help explain the significantly higher head circumferences,
weights and BMIs we found. Future studies should examine the potential role of growth-related
hormones in the pathophysiology of autism.

Umm, I’m not completely certain but doesn’t the elevated levels of growth hormones in the autism kids essentially preclude Deth’s hypotheses? Also since autistic kids appear to be more likely than controls to have detectable DHEAS, then the Geier hypothesis is also dead in the water, isn’t it? Here’s the Geiers
“it turns out that these kids almost all have low glutathione, which is the substance the body makes to help get rid of heavy metal. And they’ve been exposed to mercury, and when they have that condition, when they start making their androgens, their testosterone, they get to a point, a branch point, where they’re supposed to make most of their, it’s called DHEA into DHEA-S, but they can’t make DHEA-S because they need glutathione to do that step, so they make it almost all into testosterone.”
I’d very much like your opinion on this. It seems that the govmint has been up to some good recently
