Warning: Excuses From The Beach On Your Mobile Phone May Not Work So Well
from the another-reason-to-be-careful-using-a-mobile-phone dept
Having just warned people that mobile phones might make you senile how could we pass up giving you this "warning" about mobile phones as well. If you're going to go off to the beach somewhere on a secret vacation without your spouse, and are planning to call them via your mobile pretending to be sick and/or busy doing housework at your parents, it's probably best not to do so while walking along the beach where you might run into the other significant other complaining about their awful day as well. The article indicates this happened to a Romanian couple who are now filing for divorce - but it does seem to have all the trappings of an urban myth. First of all, if you're going to call and say you're stuck in bed, how would you explain the beach sounds in the background? Still, it's a good warning. Also, perhaps, as we all grow mobile-phone-induced senile, we'll be able to forget these sorts of embarrassing mishaps soon after they happen.

What about underwater cell phones?
Even if a scuba diver talks in bubble-ese underwater, the right software should be able to convert that into normal speech.
Perhaps coral reefs of the 21st century will have underwater cell towers, yuppie scuba divers yakking away.

Please ban Dorpus
What does calling in sick on your mobile phone from the beach have to do with submarines using ULF radio signals for communication? They're both near the ocean?
Please, Mike, I'm begging you to give us some way to ignore certain users.
