A cell phone gravestone

Leslie Katz led a team that explored the intersection of tech and culture, plus all manner of awe-inspiring science, from space to AI and archaeology. When she's not smithing words, she's probably playing online word games, tending to her garden or referring to herself in the third person.

The deceased, we assume, liked to gab on his cell phone. Or was it her cell phone? All we know is that he or she, of blessed memory, has been laid to rest beneath a gravestone shaped like a cell phone.
A photo of said mobile-phone stone, published on the site Engadget, inspired a series of creative captions. Among our favorites:
• The "reception" after the funeral was great...
• Ironically, the shot was taken with a camera phone, rendering the tombstone illegible.
• I hope he is not paying roaming charges.
• I wonder if they can hear him now?
• He's on hold.
