A recent study of tanning beds says they're as threatening to your health as arsenic or mustard gas. "According to WHO?" you might be asking. And the answer is yes, that's right -- the World Health Organization did the study.

Every time somebody goes and lays down inside one of those glowing, electric coffins to relax, it's actually like they're transporting themselves back to a WWI battlefield.

Their risk of developing skin cancer increases 75 percent with the use of tanning beds before the age of 30, so that weird, leathery orange glow comes at a pretty steep cost, in addition to the snickering and pointing behind your back. To which we say: duh.

Of course, these days there are actually a lot of things more deadly than arsenic and mustard gas -- driving a car, falling down, or even just being a civilian in Baghdad. Although none of these things have the delightful added effect of making you look like you've been sculpted out of pumpkin pie filling.
