How does a cellphone ring when you're sitting on it?

Asked by bulbatron9 (3717points) March 19th, 2008

Let’s say you’re sitting on a lead chair with your phone in your back pocket. Does the signal pass through your body, or what?

Sure, why wouldn’t the signal pass through you? Now kryptonite,..that is another story.

This is why it is imperative that you wear the tin-foil hat!

@hairy This coming from the guy who asked – Bunny? that’s a joke

I’m not a cellphone expert! I was really wanting to know how it is possible, but I guess I worded my question like a third grader, and no one took it serious!

can I ask you something you know I’m a christain rite is it ok to be mean when poeple ask dumb question

bulbatron9's avatar

Sure! Just like it is ok for me to tell you, that you really can’t spell for shit!

It can be considered as constructive criticism.

I know I can’t spell what happens when you start smoking pot when you 12

I started when I was ten, with my father! You’ve got a punctuation problem, too! I love you anyway, though!

bulbatron9's avatar

You never answered my question about your eye. How did you lose it?

oneye1's avatar

would you mind if I dont say I would prefer people around here not know

hairypalm's avatar

LOL. Yes bunny was a question I would like to take back bulba, but you are BULBA the all knowing! It’s cool, I’m glad people still have there humor. So I put your question to the test. Don’t ask me where I got a lead seat, but yes it still works. Now if you surround it with lead, then no. If you are in a building with lead paint on walls you might get signal, but it also depends on where the tower is. If you put it under a lead seat you might get a low signal but again it depends on postuon of the cell phone tower. What made you ask this? You own a lead seat?

you should help me with the crazys on the war deal hairy

hairypalm's avatar

waste of my time, people who have not experienced war, or at least never been over to iraq will never understand. They only thing most people feed off of is the media and of course they show more negative stuff than good stuff. If you ever see a solider take some time and ask the them (who have been there) in a nice way on there views, or what are some good things that they have acomplished while deployed. So ya…thats my to cents.hope i don’t make anyone mad. I love you all. (but not Bluba) just kidding.
