It seems that radar guns have been linked to two froms of testicular cancer.
The disproportional number of cases in traffic cops in the US lends credence
to the theory even where medical knowledge cannot. Even though studies were
inconclusive about cellphones and brain tumors, all manufacturers of
cellphones print instructions to inform you that you should use the antenna
whenever using the phone. Children living in close proximity to power lines
have a higher rate of lukemia (sp?) and several other cancers and immune
deficiencies. There was a lawsuit in the mid-90s having to do with
sterility and other problems experienced by microwave technicians working
for one of the larger television providers.
To go OT for a moment: I dunno how old you are, but low sperm count is
linked to colon problems. Had it checked recently? I've read books that
claim fertility is linked to diet. Had a cold or other virus lately? Are
you getting your sleep?
On the bright side, if your laptop is running windows, go to start/programs
choose accessories and your calculator. If your sperm count is 50% of
normal, show your wife the math and tell her you need to do it twice as
often. If 1/3 normal, tell her three times as often - and so on. The lower
your count, the more relaxed and happy you should be
