Not that it's proof of blame or anything
but a woman recently veered her truck into the median, over-corrected, and then flipped her vehicle several times
before coming to rest -- minus her cellphone which was found still clutched in the hand of her severed arm nearby. What
have we learned oh gentle readers? Well, she was either blabbing into her cellphone which caused the horrific crash
thereby supporting study after study warning of such dangers. Or
perhaps the torque created at impact while presumably holding a DynaTac was just a bit too much for the old ball-and-socket
to bear. Folks, stay safe and upgrade often, mkay?[Via textually.org]

Upgrade often? Whaaaaa?
Oh my gosh.
Where is the photo of the severed arm with phone?
This is a great public responsibility type of story.
ewwwww!
this could mean a lawsuit if the women was still alive!
Aw man, I think im going out to buy a BT headset.
cool
Wait - wasn't this an Oliver Stone/Michael Caine movie?
2 words:
that sucks!
I wouldn't bother with the bluetooth headset - it reduces the chance of an accident by an effectively negligable amount - either way you are approximately 4 times more likely to be in an accident if you are on your phone than if you aren't.
"please continue to hold... your call is very important to us."
Nothing ventured nothing gained. Go Treo.
My god, I hope she wasn't roaming.
How utterly ridiculous. She deserves to lose an arm. The innocent victims of her "misfortune" should sue for the other one.
You guys are focusing way too much on the arm , what about the phone ? what brand was it ? is it ok ?
