If you take a cross section of a three dimensional object, you get a two dimensional object, right? Cross section of a sphere is a circle. A cross section of a cube can be a square or a hexagon or a triangle or a rectangle, or a lot of other shapes, depending on where you make the section and at what angle.
If you take a cross section of a four dimensional object, the result is three dimensional. I've been having this image in my mind that my cellphone is such a section. There's this monstrous four dimensional object with millions of tentacles extending off it, and every cell phone is a cross-section of one such tentacle. They connect to each other (and the rest of the telephone network) via those four dimensional tentacles back to the main body.
Which is all very fine, but it doesn't explain why my phone keeps dropping coverage.

The only real problem would be keeping the "cords" from getting physically tangled.

Enclose all spoilers in spoiler tags:
[spoiler]your spoiler here[/spoiler]
Spoilers which are not properly tagged will be ruthlessly deleted on sight.
Also, I hate unsolicited suggestions and advice. (Even when you think you're being funny.)
At Chizumatic, we take pride in being incomplete, incorrect, inconsistent, and unfair. We do all of them deliberately.
