8. Did You Know...

Five completely trivial but fun facts to boggle your mind. The theme for this edition of 'S.O.S' is telephones. Did you know:

  • Telephone comes from the Greek word tele, meaning from afar, and phone, meaning voice or voiced sound
  • The Lazy E Ranch in Gutherie, Oklahoma, has pay telephones that are 2 metres above the ground, for use by cowboys on horseback
  • There is a phone booth located in Mojave dessert 23km from the nearest paved road
  • The first payphones had an attendant who collected the money and placed the calls. The phones were often in very fancy large booths
  • The first mobile car phones were located in the car's trunk, taking up nearly half of the space!
