RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters)
Brazil has one of the world's
worst telephone systems, but Brazilian Francisco de
Assis Ferreira Neto stopped complaining
the day his cellular
telephone connected with a stray bullet headed for
his chest.
``This is the lucky telephone. Thanks to it I'm alive,'' Neto,
48, told O Globo newspaper in an interview published
Friday.
The taxi driver had been riding a bus in downtown Rio de Janeiro
last Tuesday, when a stray bullet from a failed
robbery shot through an open window and lodged in the cellular
telephone he was carrying inside a leather
briefcase under his arm.
``The thief shot and fled. It
was then that I felt the impact,''
Neto said.
He looked inside his case and found his cellular telephone
twisted out of shape with a 38-caliber bullet wedged
between the keypad and the battery.
