I always get a little skeptical when someone tells me they literally died.

@AmishSuperModel was it Mary Baker Eddy that told you that? She was prepared for that.

She was the founder of the Christian science movement. She was so sure that the resurrection was coming around real soon now she was buried with the telephone so that she could call her followers. Don't know if she still has a landline or has upgraded to cellular at this point.

@denebeim @AmishSuperModel That is an urban legend and is not true. When Eddy's tomb was being constructed a phone line was run to the site for the benefit of a night watcman who was hired to protect the tomb from vandals while it was still under construction. There never was a phone inside the tomb.

@MrToyMRY @AmishSuperModel well, I was taught that during my assimilation class for Bell northern research which was the r&d arm of Nortel.

Anyway, the teacher taught me that and I never actually went and looked cuz you know teachers aren't supposed to lie to you, are they?
