If I ever find out who the maker of this cell phone is, I’ll pass the information on to you. But no wonder this crock lost its appetite what with that damn cell phone ringing all the time.
PHONE KEEPS RINGING IN UKRAINIAN CROCODILE’S TUMMY

KIEV - THE crocodile in 'Peter Pan' happily went 'tick-tock' after swallowing an alarm clock but a crocodile in Ukraine has been a little less fortunate.
Gena, a 14-year-old crocodile at the Dnipropetrovsk Oceanarium, has been refusing food and acting listless after eating a cell phone dropped by a woman trying to photograph him last month.
The phone kept ringing inside the crocodile for some time.
Phone owner Rimma Golovko says she wants her SIM card back as it contains her photos and contacts.
The crocodile will be taken to a clinic for an X-ray next week to see if the phone is still there. Medics are considering surgery as a last resort. -- AP
UPDATE: I have learned that the cell phone in the crock’s gut is a Nokia. So, if you’re looking for a cell phone that - like a Timex watch - takes a licking and keeps on ticking, go and buy yourself a Nokia.
