Today's (well, Friday's) sign of the Apocalyse

OK, this is a little bit overdue, but a sure sign that the world is about to end is the fact that my father finally got a cell phone. Now this is not as sure an omen as the sea on fire or something like that, but it's rather severe. However, since he only wants to use it for emergencies during his now hour-long commute each way to work (sorry about that, Dad), he has a prepaid model. I guess that's better than nothing...
