Does that upset you or do you find it some sort of validation for your
latest peculiar theory?


Heaven forbid an emergency happens during a contest weekend!


How does a cellphone contest work?


The first annual cell phone contest:

March 6-7, 2004

The object of the contest is to demonstrate as many cell phone
activities as possible during the 24 hour period of the contest.

The exchange is "I am (give location), I am going to (give location(,
and I will be there in (give estimated time) minutes. Buh-bye!" Of
course, all the contacts must start with "can you hear me?...Can you
hear me now?


Points are scored by number of contacts, but what really pumps the score
up is the multipliers:

X2 multiplier for operating while driving.

X2 Multiplier for driving at least 15 mph over the speed limit while driving

A multiplier is achieved for each red light you drive through while talking.

Accidents you cause while talking achieve a X5 multiplier!

If you use your cell phone to send pix of the accident you caused while
on the phone, you get an X10 multiplier!!!

No artificial aids are allowed. This means no headsets. Use you phone
like God meant you to Right up to the ear.

Anyone found using a voice dialer is instantly disqualified. Besides,
those artificial aids interfere with you collecting the really big mult's!
