Sitting idly in the night, you may wonder, what is the cell phone of choice for rectal insertion in Latin America? Apparently, it's the VK Mobile VK530. Since I love a cell-phone mystery, I had to find out what phone appeared in BoingBoing's post about Salvadoran gang members shoving handsets all the way up into their intestines. A little bit of sleuthing revealed the VK530. At 76 x 44 x 23 mm, it's one of the smallest phones on the Salvadoran market. I think the Panasonic A102 from Telecom El Salvador is a millimeter or two tinier -- and I'd imagine in a situation like that, every millimeter would count, no?

You have to wonder, though, were they having as much fun as this lady with her Nokia 8850? El Reg, always at the forefront of journalism, has rounded up various other examples of the internal-phone phenomenon.
