Because it was propagating utter crap, which is how these things come about in the first place. NO mobile phones have a "secret" battery activated by a special code.

This place won't be used to spread what amount to glorified chain letters.

Can I just say that if you see something you think would be useful to other people and wish to forward (be it by email, forums or whatever) there are several web sites to research things like this; one of the most prominent being Snopes. It's definitely worth checking. It's like all those emails that get forwarded saying "delete this file in your system directory, it's a virus", or "forward this email to as many people as possible and you will get £20 of vouchers from Sainsbury, as long as you Cc this address: [insert email address that has nothing to do with Sainsbury]". Both of which (particularly the second one) I can't believe people fall for.

I don't tend to fall for any of those things Toph but as the battery thing worked on my phone I assumed it was genuine, it had also worked on my mates phone.

Apparently I can take pills at $30 a go and it will increase the size of my penis, also for $40 I can buy a spray which women can't resist and will make me have sex with anyone, also you can get these X-ray specs and they are only $2.99, I saw it on a wrapper for some bubble gum, not on the internet either. Boy for less than £50 I could be a well endowed babe magnet who could see everyone's panties !

Wicked !


PS on the topic of locked threads I think Chris's description of Scamp puts you in mind of Andy Peters don't you think ?

I thought you already were a well endowed babe magnet! Have you been lying to us?

Oh and yes I get the Andy Peters reference but at least Andy is funny!

It's rammed down our throats so often it was second nature to say, "Andi with an I"
