I saw an absulute genius today. She could text and cross 3 lanes of traffic on her scooter at the same time. I really wanted to find out if she could handle a size 10 kicking her sideways as well, but I reckon karma will visit before too long.

Wow! Only one comment? Guess Wong, Uwe and I are on different levels from the rest of the folk here? Or does this hit a little too close to home for some? Personally I feel like none of those people should have had their phones on in the theater in the first place either, good way to single them out and get them to shut them off.

Cool concept, but the whole "let's simultaneously text hundreds of random strangers" part was a bit too sci-fi

Especially when you see the RS232 cable isn't actually plugged into the PC, and the "servers" in the background are actually QSC PA amplifiers

Here's the media embed BTW:

'Using a mobile phone is now the major cause of death behind the wheel'. I thought it was stupidity.

Not us, we had both a van and a bug and both ran like a runny nose. We traveled a good part of the USA in a converted van with 7 people, (5 siblings and 2 adults) and all that requires with camping equipment, food etc. up and down mountains (albeit veeery slowly) the bug never missed a day getting us to school (damn it) even when the roads flooded from heavy rains and kept many others out of school.. Whoever owned your van wasn't doing it any justice, even the toughest need maintenance..

[Ace of Pop]

Maintenance at 16 back then..? ..Little Money ,so it went on Boards, Broards, Booze ,Blow n Benzine.Happy Days.!!!

[WarpSpeed]

Well there you have it, not the vans fault but the owners..
