that's nothing. i make hand gestures and do things like nod or shake my
head. videophones will make my life a lot easier...

well, i was always a bit freaked out by the fact that apparently every year
a few hundred people die while on the phone due to lightning hitting the
wires and travelling to their end. maybe the blast could be something like
that, a powerful blast but one that only works on people actually on the
phone at the time
