Mobile 'phones and history

[jackthehat]

Which historical event do you think could have had an entirely different outcome had the main protagonists had a mobile 'phone to hand ?

Jesus?

the Garden of Eden - txt msg saying God was on the lookout for apples would have prevented mankind from falling into sin, thus changing everything dramatically... I'm nost sure I can actually picture a world without sin, but you get the idea.

Custer�s last stand at Little Big Horn:

George W Bush: standing on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln announcing that �the war� was over. (hmmmm perhaps it still wouldn�t have mattered!)

Saddam Hussein: in his hid-out hole. �Brinngggggg Bringgggg, salam alechem big guy! You might want to climb out of that rut you�ve been in lately. �.they�re coming!�

DB Cooper: �Uh, hello? I'm stuck up here in a tree. Could you possibly get a coordinates fix on my mobile transmission and come and get me please. Otherwise I may stay stuck up here forever!

I think I�m much too boring a person to think of anything creatively funny..

Apologies

Like the idea of Mr Christ annoying the other crucifixees.

"Hello? Dad? I'm on the cross. Yeah the cross."

"I don't know - they're Romans."

"No I don't know why either."

"No Dad. Don't come down. My mates are here. It would be soooo embarrassing."

[weeal]

lol @ plowter, like a scene from Life of Brian

Archaeologistists have recovered the remains of ye crucifixion recording:

Yes, I did try the 'son of a widow' bit, but they're obviously not masons like us.

30 pieces of silver? Rent boy? No, you've got the wrong end of the stick. I said stick.

Character witnesses? Good idea. Hold on - eh, my mates were round here somewhere.

Gotta go dad, they're delivering food.

Blahr! This fish tastes crap - too salty. Where's the vinegar? Oi! Watch that spear!

Well you can take your embalming fluid and stick it up your...

... and there ye parchment endeth.
