Mosquito ring tone

My dad told me about this. I hadn't heard of it. It's a cell phone ringtone that is pitched at a frequency that most people over 30, supposedly, can't hear. It's based on a device that is used by British shopkeepers to repel unwanted teenagers from their stores.

You can download and listen to it (if you can hear it) here: http://www.jetcityorange.com/MosquitoRingtone.html

I can hear it, but barely. It's definitely at the very upper limit of hearing for me (and incredibly annoying -- it's like the high-pitched whine that some electrical equipment makes, such as an old TV set). Now I'm very curious what it sounds like to other people.

nothing to do with mosquito ringtones at all,

YAY! He's coming home! YAY!

What are you doing obsessing over comics at a time like this, woman?! :D

No, seriously ... that's simply an *awesome* compliment, one of the best I've ever gotten. Because I want the characters to seem real, and I want people to care about them, and knowing that I've succeeded is just the compliment to end all compliments.

But still not as wonderful as knowing that he'll be home soon.
