Stupid things to try with your phone.

Hello and welcome to VideoJug. Your mobile phone is a whole world of techno-trickery in a tiny little box, and it seems nowadays making a phone call is something of a secondary feature. There are numerous ++++ things you can do with your little box of magic. Why not try these:

OPEN YOUR CAR
There is some dispute over how and when this works. It certainly depends on you having the right locking system on your car, and even the type of mobile you have, so give it a whirl and see if it works for you

If you somehow lock your cars key fob in the car, phone someone at home who has the spare. Bare in mind it must be a mobile to mobile call. Get them to press the open button whilst pointing the fob down the phone. Meanwhile, hold your phone about a foot from the car. With a bit of luck it will open. Nothing ++++ on witchcraft.

CHECK FOR A FAWLTY MICROWAVE
Put a mobile inside your microwave and give it a ring. The oven is designed to keep microwaves in, so if it rings, you may well be leaking waves all over the place, and should probably get it checked. There is a small gap for waves to escape, but it should at least dramatically limit the signal.

MOBILE PHONE THROWING
Start training for the mobile phone throwing world championships in Sweden. This started in 2000, and marks are awarded for distance and creative choreography. 95.53m is the unofficial world record, thrown in England in 2007. The minimum weight is 220 grams, so don't try and throw one lighter than this, cause that would just be silly.

Done.
