Cow eats mobile, emits ring tone

Khaleej Times Online

MUSCAT — A cow in the Sultanate of Oman has proved how sturdy mobile phones can be — by eating one.

The animal proved this by emitting a dull ringing tone from one of its stomachs after the phone's owner dialed the number after finding the phone had gone missing.

The incident was reported yesterday by an Oman newspaper, which said the phone had been lost by a young woman who had helped her farmer mother feed cattle in Al Sahm province.

The report made no mention of phone's final fate, but its reappearance during a cow's call of nature was not ruled out.
