“Bowing Prevents Cancer”

By Kamangir • Aug 8th, 2007 • Category: Humour, Islam

warning-electricity-2.gifAs reported by ISNA [Persian], bowing saves human beings from psychological problems as well physical complications such as cancer. Quoting “an Egyptian scientist”, ISNA writes “Human body is affected by Electromagnetic waves from all directions and thus needs to get rid of them. By bowing, these radiations leave the body. According to recent findings, the less taller the human being becomes, the less affected by the Electromagnetic radiation he is. While bowing, the height decreases and then through the head touching the ground, the discharge is carried out. While bowing, because other parts of the body touch the earth as well, the discharge is performed more easily. This saves the person from … cancer. The correct way to discharge the electricity of the body is through what people do while saying their prayers.”

  1. Heh, Victorian-era scientific hacks could do much better than this. Still good, though.

  2. Why is it that I can’t quite get my head around this one?

    Kamangir: Neither can I.

  3. Yeah, that’s why the Egyptians are light years ahead of us in progress.
    I’m rolling on the floor with laughter, does that count? I’m even lower than if I bowed.

  4. ROFLMAO!!!

    I lie down to sleep every night. So lying down prevents cancer too? Yippee!!! No cancer for me!

    Are these guys stupid, or do they just think their readers/listeners are morons? Or do they just want their readers to think that unnamed Egyptian scientists are idiots?

    How far are these lunatics going to go to sell their “snake oil”?

  5. ROFL! You’ve got to give these moron credit. They can get pretty creative when it comes to indoctrination. Isn’t that amazing that after almost 3 decades of Islamization program, they still have to resort to these type of inanities…hahaha

    How is it that Iranian praying, hypothetically even day or night, will help those living in abject poverty living in drug infested Niavaran and south Tehran who go to bed hungry every night?

  6. On the same note: In order to avoid rationing electricity the government has asked all the people to pray 5 times a day connected to the street lights this way they provide electricity and also curing cancer :-)

  7. recent discovery has been made that bowing and kissing your boss’ ass can greatly improve your work conditions. pucker up!

    Kamangir: :))
