No company spends thousands of dollars to post warnings re: the dangers of using cell phones on gas pumps
islands to support a myth. But just to confirm the concern the American Petroleum Institute has heres a quote and the link from the API. "While there has never been a confirmed incident of a refueling fire caused by using a cell phone during refueling, it’s best to give your full attention to the fueling process and minimize distractions like cell phones can cause".
http://tinyurl.com/8uppu I believe that because there is NO CONFIRMED incidents that does not mean the danger does not exist.

You are right however, there has been confimred incidents of cell phone battries exploding and causing burns. Now all you have to do is be unlucky when this happens to you while pumping gas (you can figure out the odds) but why take a chance if you don't have to ... whoever it is on the other line can wait .... :p

Winter is the most tempting, as well as the most dangerous time to leave it on or get it in the car. Everything is extremely static-prone during this horrible season.

Bah... :p I'm Indian, this cold weather stuff ain't in my blood; and after living the first 8 years of my life in the Middle East, this is horrible. Although, 10 chicago winters have passed and the more recent ones have seemed less cold. As far as skiing or snowboarding goes, I haven't done either. hmm, maybe pick it up this winter ?
