      Yes, but viewing pictures of nekid wimmin on your mobile phone with it's postage stamp screen is liable to make you go blind...

      If you're viewing pictures of naked women with a postage-stamp screen i doubt its the action of watching thats making you go blind.

      Back in my day we had to print our porn on 30x8 punch cards, and we liked it.

      Why would they want their SMS to be "boobie"? I think you're thinking of a different kind of search engine...

      which reminds me of the new nation-wide info phone# for the police in the Netherlands.

      It's 0900-8844, thus 0900-TUIG, which translates in 0900-SCUM..

      Coulnd't help thinking that there is at least _one_ cop in holland who has a sense of humour...
