You swear it was borderline torture...then you get older, and in some instance will try just about anything to get relief.

Yessss.:smt081

People I know that do stuff like that drive me crazy cause I'm such a logical person. If it doesn't fit in with logic, the system, science, math, commonly accepted beliefs or facts, it's a no no lol

If this isn't a viable threat, why do we use surge protectors? We had lightening damage to a computer at a restaurant I used to work for.

People have been electrocuted through phones, this is why they say don't use the phone during a thunderstorm. I often disconnect my comp if it's not on a power-surge protector.

And if you doubt....Even Snopes says it's true.

I'm not denying the validity, it's just funny that snopes was the notary on this...I always told my lil sister that talking on the phone to much could kill you lol

I've known it since a little girl in Australia (think; if it reached those shores it's gotta be true, right?? :) )
I only used Snopes because I've seen so many run to it to discount a 'fact' or not, like it's a bible, lol.
But in this case they did have actual names and cases of the deceased. :cool:

Haha wait - you told your sister what now??!! :smt036
 
That is serious. You never know how your body is when you get older. Professional wrestlers do put their bodies and lives on the line to make a good show.
