I was stuck in traffic the other day with little else to do than ponder life's immutable mysteries and I found myself laughing at one little concept that popped into my head.

What if facial piercings interacted with cell phone usage... in a negative way? What if all of a sudden people with a lot of metal shit in their faces suddenly had their heads explode? Personally I think it's a hilarious idea. Definitely one worth starting an urban legend about. One could make up all sorts of bogus dilutions of physics along the lines of "well the stainless steel used in piercings sets up an exponential feedback which induces a vibration in the power supply of the phone that results in detonation" and "this only happens with new ultra-slim phones due to the more powerful, smaller batteries they carry", and of course this doesn't happen to people with just earrings because "gold is more or less a neutral element, and silver earrings just don't have sufficient density to set off the reaction....unlike 420 Stainless". There could be warning signs made up with little icons of barbels and cell phones with a plus sign between them and an equals a skull after. There could be slomo animations of people talking on their phones with their heads splattering like the Super-Fly flash from Joe Cartoon.

I'd love to see goth chicks holding their phones at arms length and screaming into them. It would be fucking hysterical.

Anyway I was kinda bored and this kept me amused for a few minutes.
