You know how for decades, pathologists and virologists have predicted the human race will someday soon be decimated by a super-virus, a pandemic of ultimate doom? The streets littered with the festering, pox-riddled corpses of millions?
Nah.
The bane of the human race shall be the cell phone. Consider the below text and discuss.

Texting Man Avoids One Train, Struck By Another
http://www.wlwt.com/news/13930136/detail.html
CINCINNATI -- A man sending a text message avoided being hit by a train going in one direction only to be struck by another train.
Witnesses told police the man was looking down at his cell phone as he crossed some railroad tracks around 9 a.m. at Township Road and Elmwood Avenue in Elmwood Place.
Witnesses said the man waited for a southbound train to pass, put his head down and started walking across the tracks.
The man apparently did not see or hear a northbound train as it approached, witnesses said.
“It's one of those things, you kind of see it coming but you don't think it's going to happen like that, and the way he was walking and stuff and I saw that train closing in, I honestly thought he had made it,” said witness Mike Billups.
The victim, whose name has not been released, was taken to University Hospital with undisclosed injuries.

for years i've been saying the cell phone is the end of western civilization as we know it -- akin to vomitariums and orgies, but not as fun. glad to know someone agrees!
