WiFi & human reception experience...

[boxerdogma]

Is it possible that the human body can improve WiFi reception, like an FM radio?!? I just happened to notice today that Pandora lost signal every time I put my device down, and when I picked it back up the song almost instantly came back on. Could this help with downloading apps that regularly take 1/2 hr or more to complete? Admittedly I'm in a high-traffic, low-expectancy WiFi area (motel)... ??? Anyone???
