The cell phone that killed...

I admit... I hate my current cell phone, but I can honestly say I'm glad that it's never attempted to kill me. In China, that's exactly what happened to one man. He put in a freshly charged battery and put the phone in his shirt. It exploded, and he sadly died. Whether or not the battery was counterfeit, we don't know, but I'm going to jump to conclusions and say there might be a good chance it was.

Wouldn't a cellphone be an awesome killer spy gadget? Give someone a clone, then when it gets your phone call, it blows up? Give a whole new meaning to in one ear and out the other!

Would certainly be simpler than rigging cars to explode, or feeding people radioactive isotopes...

Hah, moon111, remind me to never meet you in person ;-)

Stork, I agree, that video is perfect.
