Goldfish Phone allegedly works after week in fish

Here's a whale of a fish tale: an Englishman says he lost his cell phone on a beach and a fisherman found it inside a fish he caught -- and it still worked.

Obviously the victim of a phone phishing scam.

A friend of mine found a phone that had dropped off a jetty in to water. She dried it out, and it is still working fine years later.

Maybe it had BEEN in a fish already. Think about it.
