My sister is three years younger than me, and when we were younger I used to torment her by pointing the TV remote towards her and rapidly pressing the on/off button, screaming "Radiation! Radiation!" She would scream and hide under blankets! She really believed that by getting the 'microwave signal' from the remote sent to her instead of the TV, she was getting lethal doses of radiation, and would get cancer and die. I was a horrible child.
