Terrorist alert

Well I got my new cell phone finally! woo hoooo (Actually, it's used. I got it on ebay for 20 bucks. But it works good, so who cares, right?)

When it came in the mail and I first looked at it i noticed the owners name was on the screen. Abdel Bayoumi. I didn't think much about it, but when I looked at all the names in the address book they were all like ahmed and mohammed. There were some voice recordings and they were all in arabic.

Of course my first thought was... omg! I bought a terrorist cell phone that they wanted to unload on some unsuspecting sap! And I'll be caught using it, and end up in Guantanamo... I almost didn't want to touch it. Is that racist? Prejudiced? Paranoid? Probably.

After a little while I came back to my senses and realized that a terrorist with incriminating evidence on his cell phone wouldn't be trying to sell it on ebay for 20 bucks... lol. He would throw it in the river or something. Or make a bomb out of it.

So I looked this guy up online and he's actually a professor of mechanical engineering at University of South Carolina. http://www.me.sc.edu/fs/bayoumi.html

Sorry for slandering you in my mind, Abdel.
