That would be the telephone as opposed to the cell phone.
You know what? I love your blog. It reminds us that the little things we take for granted in life, like the telephone. Are truly AWESOME inventions.
Is it just me, or does the writer just seem to be phoning this one in?
(…groan…I know! but it was too hard to resist.)
From illegal naps, to fresh sheets and picking boogers… your site makes my day AWESOME!!
Thanks for posting early everyday too: )
uhhhh, picking boogers?
um wat is this blog about? ramdom stuff?
Yes.
AWESOME random stuff, though.
I suppose I can only blame myself for not arriving early enough to make the phoning it in joke.
very nice..
lol!
(its kinda an inside joke. you have to say “very nice” with a sort of inflation or accent, rather. that makes it funny. of course, this isnt very funny to any random person. just my friends and i. unless you get the joke. then its funny for you too.)
Hah! I wonder if you phon–
Oh, dammit.
Witchcraft, that is what phones are is witchcraft.
One of the greatest inventions. And e-mail never took over the phones either.
“other side of the planet a millisecond later”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_electricity “66% to 96% of speed of light”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_light “299,792,458″ meters per second. “the length of Earth’s equator 134 ms”.
Divide by 1/2 (“other side”) = 67ms.
66% to 96% = 42ms to 64ms.
It is still AWESOME.
I thought they meant the song telephone. Cuz THAT makes me happy

So simple yet so true, this one made me laugh out loud. Telephones are awesome.
Going through each number from 1000 and each one just makes me smile.
brief and true. i am determined to read all of these.
ABSOLUTLEY AMAZING AND AWESOME!
I LOVE THE PHONE!!!
wouldn’t/couldn’t live without it!
intersting…
Dies ist sehr nützlich für info.Thanks schreiben.
I miss the big, heavy rotary dial phones. Those were the days when you could have the satisfaction of slamming down the phone if needed. Throwing a cell phone across the room just doesn’t cut it.
