    Wireless Man, Wireless Man.
    Doing the things that wireless can.
    What's he like? It's not important.
    Wireless Man.
    Is he a standard or is he a spec?
    When he's in the last mile does he connect?
    Or does the mile connect him instead?
    Nobody knows. Wireless Man.

  3. My plan is nearly complete! Death to Capitalism! by Fantastic+Lad · · Score: 2, Funny
    HA HA HA!

    Soon my nefariously brilliant plan will be complete! When the entire world is wireless, I will put my scheme into action. . .

    I will march into the financial district 10 minutes before the end of trading on a particularly good day, and activate my powerful cross-spectrum white noise generator and shut down all wireless communication within three square kilometers!

    HA HA HA!

    Of course, if I don't want to get caught before I put my plan into effect, I should start wearing a turban so that the uber-authority New World Order choreographers will quickly forbid their street level FBI officers from arresting me. Now all I need to do is hail from some country the U.S. wants to annex, and I will be unstoppable. . !

    HA HA HA!
