After a few incidences where the combination of me and electronics have gone wrong (like three laptops drowned within a year, with all the fun it brings of loosing data..), the following r�©sum�©�¨ brought some laughter among my colleagues at work yesterday:

Try to imagine this..
*The chance that I would have to drink a glass of water during the night about 6/360=1.6%
*The chance that I bring it back to the bedroom; 60%
*The chance that I drink it all up; 50%
*The chance that I place it besides the bed on the floor (no table); 90%
*The chance that my telephone is in the bedroom 1/7=14.28%
*The chance that I leave it besides the pillow; 5%
*The chance that it will fall out of bed during the rest of the night; 15%
The area it must hit : pi*r*r = 3.14*4cm = 12.56cm2
Total realistic area it might fall on: 30*80cm = 2400cm2
*The chance to hit the glass with the telephone is 12.56/2400=0.52%

Total chance to drown the telephone that way would be;
0.016*0.6*0.5*0.9*0.1428*0.05*0.15*0.0052 = 0.000000024058944 (0.0000024058944%)

With other words.. the chance to wake up with the telephone in a glass with water is impressive; 1/41 564 584 !!!!!!!!!

..as to compare, the chance to get 7 right in lotto is 1/ 5 379 616 and the chance to become infected by the bird flue is 1/33 333 333.


-So my latest addition guys, would be a new telephone. A nokia N95, the previous one was a N80, wich I quite recently purchased ..after drowning the one before that during a fishing trip in october
