"The SMS message, purporting to come from the BBC, has been circulating around Asian countries since Monday.
It warns people to take necessary precautions against possible effects of radiation.
The BBC has issued no such flash but the hoax has caused particular panic in the Philippines.
Some media reports suggest that workers and school children there were sent home after the rumours began to spread, prompting the Philippines government to issue an official denial."
So you can all stop worrying now, and stop wasting money and people's time by spamming them with messages concerning unverified threats. Seriously it used to be stupid chain emails but now even SMSes...what is the world coming to when people believe every single piece of crap that comes to their phone?
And by the way, how on earth does radiation = acid rain? I didn't know plutonium could break down into sulphur dioxide...
