What the mobile (cellular) looked like 4,000 years ago

Now for a contemporary reminder of what the mobile looked like 4,000 years ago . . .

If you have a Mikro'oys Gedoyloys Chumash (sorry for the spelling) it's worth looking into Perush Rashi MeKtav Yad, brought int the Mossaf Rashi on the Passuk Vategnov Rachel es haterofim.From the description of how such a idol was 'made' and coupled with the Ibn Ezra's commentary, one wonders whether our forefather Lavan already had what we would term as a Cellular device (or Mobile in the UK, GSM in Belgium, Pelefon in Israel - you name it - who knows, Terofim in Aramaic might even be the literal translation for Nokia's . . . )There is an uncanny similarity between Lavan's "connectivity appliance" and our wireless 'phone; below you will find a numbered list of 'features' that are compared in the next paragraph with identical numbers - go figure!
1. They cut off the head . . . . *
2. It could communicate through a wall
3. They inserted a gold sliver under the tongue
4. People would worship it
5. It showed the time

1. As is well-known (just look around in Shul) the Cellular has taken away people’s head . . .
2. The cellular waves go through walls; one can speak to his friend without hindrance
3. The Gold-Plated SIM fits neatly under a lever (in at least some of the models)
4. How many people do you know who wouldn’t leave the house without it?!
5. It incorporates a clock
No wonder Lavan chased Yaacov for seven days . . .
* Just watch how the manufacturers hype up the market for every new "Generation" and new model (a.k.a. newborn or Bechor)
** Terofim is similar to Trophy (see; http://www.answers.com/trophy Par. B. & D.)
