it is impossible to get chinese people stop believe these kinds of things even after they move to america most will continue to believe this kind of stuff. They believe all electronic equipment especially computer equipment give off radiation that is harmful to fetus, to combat this they will wear special maternity clothes that are lined with aluminum foil that acts as a faraday cage. if you ever see a pregnant chinese girl wearing weird overalls this is that special clothing, if you put your cell phone in the pocket it will immediately lose all signal. They also believe cactus absorb radiation and will keep them on their desk.


Not a very effective cage at microwave frequencies what with all the gaping holes. Could just as well be a waveguide channeling more radiation onto snowflake. A segway mounted sarcophagus would be more suitable.
