Keeping and reading blogs increases cancer risk
Why are the Daily Mail so obsessed with things that may give us cancer? If the Mail is correct, in order for us to avoid all forms of cancer we must sit perfectly still from birth and not consume any food or drink. We must also not open a window.
Of course, we would all be dead if we adhered to this strict lifestyle and dietary regime and the species would become extinct within a generation but sadly this is necessary if we're not to die from cancer.
Anyway, just typing out this blog entry has increased my chances of developing several cancers by 23% so I'm now going to sit very still on my new sofa and avoid any of these things:
