The University of North Carolina has finally found a network server that, although missing for four years, hasn't missed a packet in all that time. Try as they might, university administrators couldn't find the server. Working with Novell Inc., IT workers tracked it down by meticulously following cable until they literally ran into a wall. The server had been mistakenly sealed behind drywall by maintenance workers.

Err, no. Wouldve been kinda hard if the phone was in a pocket...


It problably had something to do with the battery. Short out the contacts, and youve got a bomb waiting to go off. In her case, it did.

Damn. That must've been one screwed up battery. The thing's supposed to be low voltage, right? It shouldn't be able to actually catch fire, as far as I know. Leak chemicals, maybe, but not catch fire... unless she had some other combustable material in her pocket. :-\

Maybe her pocket got so hot that the solder joints melted and shorted the battery. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]
