>The Onion had an article recently about a smartphone with a pre-spiderwebbed screen, aimed at college age women. That one hit close to home.

This is the first time any of us has actually managed to physically break a phone. You can only see the spiderweb cracks if you light it from just the right angle, but the screen is non functional except for a little section in the top right corner.

My older son managed to drop his into the Kansas River a few years back - never saw that again.

Oh well..
