Cell Phones Reach for Zero

Here is a bizarre idea: a company that offers all-you-can-eat voice and data service across a network of data lines and cell infrastructure it does not own. Meet Las Vegas-based Zer01 Mobile. The company has developed its own VoIP system that runs not only on the landed Internet, but on the mobile Web as well. Details are hazy.

More will come out at the coming Cable Telecommunications and Internet Association trade show in Las Vegas early April. But the buzz on the Zer01 is compelling: The product will offer all the voice, data and cell usage a customer wants for $70 a month. That's right, $70, with nary a contract or commitment.

New Company Likely to Raise Ire

The system will emulate landed broadband phones by running on data networks and not phone systems. And Zer01 is almost certain to raise traditional carrier ire.

But, still, in these cost-conscious times, expect value-hungry cell phone users to take this product seriously: Since who really has the money these days to throw away on pricey data plans?

Comments from teachers on students' performance, wicked! David Lim, Auckland

Comments allegedly made on under-performing students' report cards by teachers in New York City.

* Since my last report, your child has reached rock bottom and has started to dig.

* I would not allow this student to breed.

* Your child has delusions of adequacy.

* Your son is depriving some village of an idiot.

* Your son sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.

* The student has a 'full six pack' but lacks the plastic thing to hold it all together.

* This child has been working with glue too much.

* When your daughter's IQ hits 50, she should sell.

* The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.

* If this student were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week.

* It's impossible to believe the sperm that created this child beat out 1,000,000 others.

* The wheel is turning but the hamster is definitely dead.

It's Gr8 News 4 Believers - Da Bible Sent 2 u in Txt

An Australian group has translated the entire Bible into SMS format, enabling verses to be sent direct to mobile phones. In the latest twist on the scripture, the Bible Society in Australia is offering all 31,171 verses in the abbreviated text style. True believers can now encourage each other with lines such as "4 God so luvd da world" and "In da Bginnin God cre8d da heavens & da earth". The service claims to be "100% faithful" to the original. But receiving the entire Bible by SMS would take more than 30,000 messages and cost almost A$8,000 (£3,432). Source: Guardian News & Media 2008. Published: 10/7/2005

Malaysian Boy Dishonoring Ewe!

Bachok, Malaysia, Monday, May 08, 2006--Police are searching for a 15-year-old boy for questioning regarding alleged sex involving a local ewe. District police chief Deputy Superintendent Nazley Mohd Said said in the 6.30pm incident, the animal's owner, a 36-year-old housewife, was cleaning her house when she heard the frantic bleating of her ewe.

The sound came from beneath the lower portion of her house, which is built on stilts, where she kept her livestock.

On checking, the woman found the youngster naked with one of her ewes.

"When she screamed, the youth jumped up and fled. She lodged a police report," Nazley said.

Presumably, the woman, the boy and the sheep were equally jumpy in this incident. Furthermore, since Malaysia is a Muslim nation with Sharia family courts, the boy likely faces harsh punishment for carnal knowledge of a ewe. Sex with a sheep is an offense that surely besmirches the family honor. Therefore, I suppose the sheep and the boy will be sentenced to die.
