We're doomed!

Good I will get a tan.

Maybe the UVR will zap the meanies in our peanut butter..

Gotta wonder how UV from cfl's compares with regular fluorescent lights.

With the UV on my (radioactive) Granite counters, I know they will be sterile.

From the article:

The United Kingdom's Health Protection Agency now recommends people should not be closer than 30 centimetres from an energy-saving light bulb for more than one hour per day, since it is like exposing bare skin to direct sunlight. The agency warns the emissions could cause problems for people suffering from medical conditions like lupus.

So lessee: 30 cm = less than a foot in real measurements. So if you're less than a foot away from a CFL (doesn't say what wattage, by the way) for more than an hour a day, it *could* be like "exposing bare skin to direct sunlight", something a lot of human beans do anyhow in the course of their life.

So *if* you suffer from a medical condition like lupus, maybe you ought not sit closer than a foot to a CFL bulb (of indeterminate wattage) for more than an hour a day.

Me, I don't think I'll sweat it just yet.

Balls, I'm still as pale as ever.
