[tophat9000]

The problem is not the phones but cheap after-market "knockoff" battery's people put in there phones

[XRdsRev]

Can you hear me....POW !!!!!!!

[Prime Choice]

Only the stuned die young. :-/

Once beeber'd, twice stuned. :o)

Hang up OR bleed.

"We survived without them when we were kids. They can too"

Yeah, but I doubt your parents used the movie theater or mall as a daycare.

[Darksheare]

NOT my fault!
Keyword doesn't say it's my fault.
(Sad that I have to deny involvement, and telling too.)
/ joke.

LOL...sorry, reminds me of Roy D. Mercer's exploding pager routine. (My wife, Sharon-Jean's, pager done blewed up... right on her butt...left a big ol' 'lectric burn on her left cheek...looks like an outline of Woody Woodpecker...)

[brothers4thID]

Was the Mossad looking for any of the victims?

[theDentist]

That's for sure.

Some Soccer mom in an SUV talking on her cell phone will have a phone blow-out at 80mph and run over several Focus, a Toyota, and an Accord before rolling to a stop in the median.

Pedantic grammar note: it should be "Foci." One Focus, two or more Foci.

Holy Moly. I thought when reading the title that the explosion of the number of cell phones out there was a problem. Not that the flippin' thing would explode next to your head!!

Box of cotton balls?

[ssaftler]

Unless you call the John "Breck Girl" Edwards, in which case he channels the battery telling you that it was about to explode. An EASY $10,000,000 at that point!

As bad as cell phone battery explosions are, they are not nearly so bad as a head explosion. Although extremely rare, head explosions are always fatal. It is best not to take any chances and therefore to avoid electrical overstimulation of the brain whenever possible.

How to Tell if Your Head is About to Explode

well gee whiz -- that is a GREATER injury rate than the majority of the EVIL MEDICINES that have been yanked off the market and companies sued out of existance and thousands of honest workers thrown out of jobs --- WHY?

So scumbag trial lawyers like kerry, klinton, edwards, and over HALF of the congress can maintain their millionaire status.

[azhenfud]

Okay.....;-)

[Big Digger]

You'd be stuned too if your beeber blew up.
