Never Never Never do this!

According to Snopes, this story is partially true. A point to note is not to use third party or counterfeit battery for your mobile phones.

From My InBox:

JUST A REMINDER FOR ALL OF US!

Never, Never, Never do this.

A few days ago, a person was recharging his mobile phone at home.

Just at that time a call came in and he answered it with the Instrument still connected to the outlet.

After a few seconds electricity flowed into the cell phone unrestrained and the young man was thrown to the ground with a heavy thud..

His parents rushed to the room only to find him unconscious, with a weak heartbeat and burnt fingers.

He was rushed to the nearby hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival.

Cell phones are a very useful modern invention.

However, we must be aware that it can also be an instrument of death.

Never use the cell phone while it is hooked to the electrical outlet!

FORWARD THIS TO THE PEOPLE THAT MATTER IN YOUR LIFE!!!!

Cell phone guns

From My InBox:

Most see airport security as a pain. Some feel violated.
When you watch this clip, you'll understand why they want your cell phone through the x-ray machine.
If you get asked to test your cell phone at the airport, this is the reason.
Cell phone guns have arrived. They are real.
The attached video clip shows how cell phone guns operate.
These phones are not in the U.S. yet, but they are in use overseas.

Beneath the digital phone face is a .22 caliber handgun, capable of firing four rounds in rapid succession
using the standard telephone keypad. European law enforcement officials are stunned by the discovery
of these deadly decoys. They say phone guns are changing the rules of engagement in Europe .
Only when you have one in your hand do you realize that they are heavier than a regular cell phone.

Be patient if security asks to look at your cell phone or turn it on to show that it works. They have a good reason!
