Look what I found on Google when searching for Carl Sandburg Chicago. He died in 1967, but he's back now and has two phone lines!

When you're a member of the walking dead, you get to do that sort of thing, and if anyone tries to make a stink about it, you just bite off their faces.

The whole lot of you are bored and thus, delusional. Do something better with your pathetic existence.

You do know that the common or garden telephone as we know it today was just a by-product of Alexander Graham Bell's attempt to create a device to communicate with the dead? I kid you not.

That's just a story Bell fabricated to frighten the smokin bejeezus out of Watson. "Watson, come here I need you" was not just the first telephonic message, itwas also the first prank call.:D :D



OOPS I quoted the wrong person. Sorry Wilgrove!

Well, the founder of the Christian Science Church, Mary Baker Eddy, was buried in Cambridge, Massachusetts with a telephone in her casket. She said she would call back from the dead. No one ever got a call and they disconnected the telephone several years ago.

Although that might be just an "Urban Legend" the Mount Aubern Cemetaty where she is buried is not in Boston, but in Cambridge.

I believe it to be true - Marconi is another one who also dabbled in the appliance of technology to Spiritualism.
