Using cellphones while recharging..

I received an email stating that you should never use your cellphone while it is charging, i.e. connected to the outlet. According to the email, a man who was charging his phone, answered a call on it, and electricity flowed through the phone electrocuted him, knocking him down. What do you guys think ? Is that possible ?

Only if something was seriously wrong with his charger. And if that were the case, then a similar warning should be applied to using a toaster - Never, ever use one that is plugged in, as it might have a short and electrocute you!

You should check Snopes.   (Even though they have their dark side...)

Heh, thanks guys. That cleared up the issue. ( although, now that I read my email through, the email did have a link to the Snopes link Eigenray gave ).

But still, don't use your cell phone, while recharging, under the shower.  Grin

That warning should also be extended to toasters, electric razors or microwave ovens.  Tongue

Soap is especially bad if you are using a chainsaw under the shower.

Well, at least you have less risk of infection...
