Technology - To Die For?

How far would you go to retrieve your cell phone if you dropped it? Would you stuff half of your body in a storm sewer to get your phone back? If you said "yes" you should read this story: http://www.fdlreporter.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070607/FON0101/306070031

This guy actually DIED trying to get his phone out of the storm sewer in front of his house. I think there are a couple of lessons here.

  1. Don't drop your phone in the sewer.
  2. If you do, don't just dunk your head in there like you're bobbing for apples, unless you have someone there to help you get out.
  3. Lastly, if you're THREE HUNDRED POUNDS maybe you should get someone smaller to go spelunking. I mean, really - isn't that the kind of thing people have kids for?
