Re: Dumb
said by major marco  :said by greendragon :You can call 911 from your cell phone right?? Yes, nine one one works beautifully during ordinary circumstances. However, the nanosecond there is any kind of natural disturbance, my cell phone service quits working and I'm shit outta luck with emergency services. Case in point: the EQ So Cal had on July 29, 2008. It was originally graded a 5.4 on the Richter, then the USGS downgraded to a 5.2, but the fact remained, although no lives were lost and multi billion dollar damages to the infrastructure was incurred -this time- I couldn't have called nine one one on the cell phone. So much for that service, eh? said by major marco :said by greendragon :You can call 911 from your cell phone right?? Yes, nine one one works beautifully during ordinary circumstances.
