A wireless land-line?

Considering T-Mobile’s current lag behind some other USDM cellular providers in areas such as mobile broadband, streaming media, and built-in GPS–which are all current features in T-Mobile of the Netherlands, by the way–the corporate higher-ups have released information regarding their newest addition to their arsenal of services. Using a wireless router in your home to establish a wi-fi connection to one’s cellular phone or mobile data device, one can use his or her phone as a land-line as well. When inside the house, one’s phone will simply be metaphorically converted from a cellular phone to a cordless phone and, consequently, one’s calls will not count against peak or off-peak airtime.

Oh boy

I got this email recently, and thought it was priceless, so here it is:

—

A teacher noticed that a little boy at the back of the class was squirming around, scratching his crotch and not paying attention. She went back to find out what was going on. He was quite embarrassed and whispered that he had just recently been circumcised and he was quite itchy. The teacher told him to go down to the principal’s office. He was to telephone his mother and ask her what he should do about it. He did it and returned to his class. Suddenly, there was a commotion at the back of the room. She went back to investigate only to find him sitting at his desk with his little weenie hanging out. “I thought I told you to call your mom!” she said. “I did,” he said, “And she told me that if I could stick it out till noon, she’d come and pick me up from school.”

KIDS – DON’T YOU JUST LOVE ‘EM?!?

Cat with lime is off the menu

With the recent introduction of the Ramblings category, I decided to take a look at some of the icons for the other categories. I decided that most of the icons were still neat and that I still liked them. However, the icon for the Scholarly / Serious category used to be a cat with a lime on his head. Coincidentally, that cat’s name was Aristotle. While he served the Z-Issue well in his years here, it was alas, his time to retire. Just so he will forever be remembered, here is the larger image from which his icon was cropped:

Aristotle the Cat

Bye bye Aristotle!

P.S. To see the new image, I guess you will just have to view an older entry in the Scholarly / Serious category, or anxiously await the next entry therein. 😉
