“The leading cause of death among fashion models is falling through street grates.” – Dave Barry
Alas, when the time comes where I will have no more use for my mobile phone, I will bid it farewell and cast it into the bowels of the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly in Russia. It’s true!
“The reason we selected the world’s biggest magnetic anomaly is not just for environmental reasons to minimise the potential electromagnetic radiation impact of a large number of mobile phones buried in one location”, said Ruslan G. Fedorovsky, Mobile Funs newly appointed Head of Mobile.”…There also is an interesting, although controversial idea increasing in popularity amongst Russian mobile phone users that over time, some personal electromagnetic ‘zen’ becomes trapped inside old mobile phones.

For an extra fee, your mobile phone can send you one last SMS before it is cast into the deep. Oh, the drama. I wonder if the service will be extended towards other pieces of hardware as well – servers, desktops, etc.
And maybe then, with the combination of magnetic energy and man-made circuitry, this will lead to the rise of the Man vs Robot war.
