maybe they could limit the length of audio file that can be used for alerts instead of just not allowing the poo poo at all? no that would not be magical and revolutionary enough for my corporation-engineered marvel of modern technology

You do know you can just rename any AAC file as m4r and it'll work as a ringtone, and that it's been this way since shortly after the iPhone launched, right?

Someone made a detailed chart of which characters appear in which Police Academy movies.
I think the funniest thing about that is the order of the characters was initially based on the animated series.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kite_Eating_Tree

quote:

Digestion of kites
It is unclear quite how the Kite-Eating Tree actually eats the kites, although it makes audible "munching" sounds as it does so. Charlie Brown once said that the sight of a Kite-Eating Tree eating a kite was "the most gruesome thing [he had] ever seen." The sight of a Kite-Eating Tree eating a kite also caused Lucy to scream and fall to the ground. However, in neither incident was it stated that the kite-eating process was completed in only the few seconds during which either character watched the process.

Once, after the tree ate yet another of Charlie Brown's kites, Lucy shouted at it so loudly that it regurgitated not only that kite but also a flood of other people's kites, suggesting that, no matter how many kites the tree holds, it only eats one at a time, saving the rest for future feasts.

Charlie Brown has told Linus that Kite-Eating Trees "eat the paper like it was fried chicken, and spit out the sticks like bones!" Charlie Brown may have, in his frustration, been exaggerating, for no sticks have been seen lying around the Kite-Eating Tree (possibly it moves around so it might be in a different place every time it eats).

Evidently kite-eating trees have physiologies somewhat similar to animals, since Charlie Brown once threatened to kick the Kite-Eating Tree right in the "stomach." However, when he kicked its "stomach", Charlie Brown hurt his foot, remarking that Kite-Eating Trees "have hard stomachs."
