Gaming With GPS On Your Smartphone

Barence writes "If your handset doesn't get you out and about, tramping through mud, climbing around and hunting for hidden treasure, then something needs an upgrade. The iPhone, Blackberry's Storm and Bold lines, and many Symbian and Android handsets, now sport GPS, which makes your smartphone the ticket to join a global movement of outdoor games. These are outbound challenges that pit teams and solo players against themselves and each other in the search for hidden treasure, undiscovered landmarks, and hidden spots all over the world. This article delves into several of the best smartphone-friendly real-world games, each of which is a bridge between the online and offline worlds."

  1. Constipation by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The day after thanksgiving I was so constipated. After about 4 days without being able to take a shit I decided to force it out. I pushed really hard and eventually I started to hear a dripping into the toilet, almost got it, I thought, and gave it one more big push. Kaaa splooosh! It felt so good to come out. when I started to wipe I noticed that my hand was covered with blood. I quickly jumped up to see a pile of bloody intestines trailing there way back to my ripped open bloody asshole. "Oh God! I can't believe this is happening to me," I yelled, grabbing my intestines out of the toilet and trying to push them back into my ass. I was so disgusted by the whole experience that I puked all over myself and passed out. My dog found me later that day and ate most of the intestines that were outside of my body. How did I survive you ask? Well, God works in mysterious ways... God works in mysterious ways.
