    i remember when you could make crank calls with a mechanical crank, on the side of the phone.
    it rotated a magnetic field that generated a signal that actuated a set of relays, that made someone else's phone, ring on the other end.

    (i've probably said that before, but its still true that there was such a time)
     
  2. Do you have pop in the fridge? Well let him out, it's getting cold in there.

    "Nah.... He's in a box these days."
