Calculators Cause Dyslexia!

According to latest research from the British Salamander Society, "calcuwaves" released by calculators increase our risk of catching dyslexia by 72%.

Casio calculators reportedly are the worst, coming top against other calculator brands in the dyslexia graphs from B.S.S. I haven't said dyslexia graphs in a long time.

One in Seventeen children and adults are recorded as being paranoid dyslexiacs. Have calculators been to blame all this time?

Dr. Ray Barry from the B.S.S. had this to say:

"We believe calculators should be replaced with the good old abacus. Like the good old days. These calculators really are something to worry about, our tests have shown this, and many parents around the country are already rightfully concerned for their children who use calculators regularly at school. And you see the kids using calculators outside of school all the time these days. I often see youth around the street and sitting on the bus, tapping away at their calculators like it's a life or death calculation! We found that it's the "sin" button that does the most damage. I really hope the government take notice and enforce a calculator ban. What What."

Until that happens, we may have to think for ourselves and decide - do I prefer english or maths?
