At last, XKCD starts winning again! :-D

Although I'm now thinking about reconfiguring my phone to make a sound 
like a klaxon horn or something, rather than just ringing. Hmm, or maybe 
an air raid siren?

Mine plays a trumpet fanfare from Purcell's King Arthur. You can hear it two
rooms away :)

Almost as good is some of the profile images in the forums...

One guy had the following text: "English. A language that lurks in dark 
alleys, beats up other languages & rifles through their pockets for 
spare vocabulary."

Another guy had a photograph of the sign on the side of a large metal 
object. It shows two images, one crossed out with "NO" written under it, 
and the other with "YES" written under it. The first image shows a women 
throwing a baby into a large black object. The second shows a women 
handing a baby to a nurse. Like, WTF?

I have the Imperial March. It's certainly distinctive.

I'm guessing the large metal object is a dumpster. No unwanted babies in 
the dumpster, please.

One of the guys here recorded a scream as his ringtone.  He was in a week 
of development meetings, and at the end of one of the presentations, the 
speaker asked if anyone had any questions, and his phone rang "in 
response".

I'm thinking I want to record a kitten and use it for the new message 
tone for my blackberry.  We just moved into cubicles here, and I think it 
would drive people batty to think there was a kitten wandering around 
here lost. ;-)

Jim
