Spark gap transmitters went out a long time ago. No, cell phones do not arc. Probably the root of the reason that they don't want you using cell phones a filling stations is the old "get off the phone and pay attention to what you are doing" bit. The rumor mills, being what they are, took it from there.

I would be more worried about being hit by lightning. The chances are greater.

What? Cell phones attract lightning? Oh, I gotta send that message to all my friends.

Then why would elasticity be important?...if nothing needs to change shape.

Have a nice week...

Sounds expensive. Take a video camera when you go, and bring me the tape. :)

I should go check that out, 'cept I bet I can't afford it. Dang it. I took SWMBO out to dinner at Burger King and that shot my budget for the week.

I am SO sick of being broke.

(Yeah, well, it would help if I hadn't just bought a $200 lathe, but I'm trying to wallow in self pity here.)

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why did you say that? WHY?

It's a small world after allllll.....

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's one up on playing one on TV.

That's balderdash. I've had the same prescription since my junior year of high school, and I was... Well, hell, let's not go there.

I know, they didn't mention the price. I figured if they aren't telling me the price, I don't have to ask, I can't afford it.

Me too.

I believe you're confusing lens elasticity w/eyeball shape. The eyeball being out of round, so to speak, is what causes near/farsightedness. Loss of lens elasticity as one ages is what leads to needing reading glasses, especially in lower light situations.
