Rimgggggggggg

I think I have been quiet long enough (We, I haven't ranted in a couple of weeks) about those annoying cell phones. What is getting me started was my seeing a survey result by Randstad to find the annoyance that bothers workers most.
Well, according to the employees surveyed 30% said it was the ringing of cell phones while at work, the highest complaint total of the survey. I find this interesting because in the work place, one filled with phones, computer clacking keyboards, chatter and the rest of the noises found in any office, one would think that a ringing cell phone would hardly be noticed.
Wrong! We should not forget that cell phones are far from innocuous instruments. No, when they ring they ring in the most irritating of ways. You know what I mean. Have you ever been in a public place and heard one of those rap song rings, or a cutsie musical melody? Cell phones don't just ring. Like their rude and clue less owners they ring annoyingly, and this explains why the survey respondents cited cell phones as the most annoying of all office interruptions.
Unlike the typical "brrrring" of normal phones, the cell rings push their way not only consciously but also insidiously into our psyche. The owner of the phone thinks his or her ring is "cute", the bystander thinks the ring an abomination. Thus, the cell ring is as good an example of why cell phones are civilization killer as is the mindless giggling we hear on the part of cell users or the loud "I am important because I am on my phone" act some users shift into when seen in public with their phones.
The user thinks his obnoxious ring is cute, and the co worker who must endure that up and down ring of low and high notes, will eventually have nightmares about them. And the newer ring tones are even worse. Maybe we just haven't learned yet to tune them out. They are like the sounds of a crying baby. We hate to hear it but can't ignore it. Those cell rings are not the natural sounds we are used to and feel comfortable with, they are artificial ones designed to startle us. They bug us even at the unconscious level.
Oh....how I wish I would just one day I would hear only the sound of silence....
We have all heard of fallen breasts, but it was a first when I read about the case of a Koltata, India mans fallen skull. That's right! The fellow's skull; fell off his head and he is still alive to show it. Hundreds of people are thronging a hospital in Kolkata to see him holding the piece of his own skull that fell off.
Doctors say a large, dead section of 25-year-old electrician Sambhu Roy's skull came away Sunday after severe burns starved it of blood. "When he came to us late last year, his scalp was completely burned and within months it came off exposing the skull," Ratan Lal Bandyopadhyay, the surgeon who treated Roy told Reuters Wednesday. "Later, we noticed that the part of his skull was loosening due to lack of blood supply to the affected area, which can happen in such extensive burn cases."
The piece came off and hundreds of people and dozens of doctors now crowd around his bed, where he lies holding the bone. No I have no idea why anyone would want to see that.... The doctors there say the skull's inner covering and the membrane which helps produce bone was miraculously unaffected, allowing fresh bone to grow. "When the skull came off, I thought he will die, but we noticed a new covering on his head forming and that might have pushed the 'dead skull' out,"he said. Roy was almost killed when he was electrocuted while repairing a high voltage wire last October.
Maybe this is a good time for Roy to take his skull and consider a career change.
