What I did on my holidays, part II

First, an update: the guinea pigs are still going strong.

A question: in the last twenty-four hours, I have seen mobile phone ring tone advertisements for a "silent ring" in three different media. It is allegedly "great for fooling parents and teachers!" I don't have a mobile phone, but I'm aware you can set the things to vibrate. But downloading a silent ring - is that as stupid as it sounds?
