KDDI’s Au cellphones to provide message board for disaster in English
With this disaster service, “ET call home.” If the Big One ever happens in Tokyo, I wonder if the cell network will crash before everyone’s battery charge runs out. If Tokyo does bite the Big One, I need a solar-cell version of the ruggedized, waterproof keitai/cellphone, the G’zOne TYPE-R by au which is pictured below.
KDDI’s au phones to accept English disaster-time messages
TOKYO — …disaster-time message transmission services via the au cell phone EZweb email function will accept English messages from July 14….cell phone users to leave messages such as “safe,” “sustained damage,” and “staying at home” or “staying at a shelter” as well as a short comment ….
au’s G’zOne TYPE-R cellphone with an attitude– which according to KDDI’s website it has, “outstandingly water- and impact-resistant series built to bear not only the hard use of daily life, but the rain, rugged outdoor use, and sports use as well.” The cellphone is manufactured by Casio and it has “superior” screen readability, a GPS compass, a stopwatch, a 1.28-megapixel camera, but not a Swiss Army knife. Meh.

After a hard days work this computer program mer stopped at a local bar for a drink.
As he was sitting at the bar, he was looking at his hand and dialing like it was a phone. The bar tender was very curious so he asked the man what he was doing?
The program-mer said, “I have invented a built-in phone in my hand and tomor-row I am going to patent it.”
The bar tender said, “Sir….this area is kind of rough you could get mug-ged for showing this new product around–be careful.”
At this point the program-mer asked where the bath room was. The bar tender said, “Go down the hall turn right.”
Well….time passed……the bar tender was getting concerned as the program-mer did not come back. He decided to investigate.
When the bar tender entered the bath room, there was the program-mer standing against the wall with his pants down, and a roll of toilet paper stuffed up his butt.
The bar tender yelled in dismay,”Oh my heavens you haven been mug-ged—I told you to be careful!”
The program-mer replied.

Gee, thanks for sharing that joke with us Mr Syn Tezator (even if it was robot comment-spam).
