Never knew you could do this...

Have you locked your keys in the car? Does you car have remote keys?

This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone:

If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock.

Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).

I heard this was just a myth and doesn't work.

I'm guessing this is false... Vehicle key transmitters send the signals out in radio waves, usually in the mid to upper MHz range... Cell phones take the audio input (generally considered 20 Hz - 20 kHz) and send it out digitally on a radio frequency, usually in the low GHz range... The only way this could potentially work would be to have your key transmitter working on an exact harmonic step of your cell phone... But since even then, you'd be losing 1/2 of the signal strength for every step off of the original signal, and you're starting with a weak transmitter anyway, odds are, your keys are going to remain in your car...

Just my not-so-humble opinion...

I can't even find my cell phone...

I want to try this one out...

It is possible to cut down a tree with a machine gun.

confirmed

The build team obtained large pine tree trunks and set them up in the Mojave Desert. The trees were shot at using a Thompson submachine gun and a M249 SAW, but they remained standing. The .45 bullets were too slow and inaccurate, and the 5.56mm NATO rounds didn’t cause enough damage to fell the tree. However, when Kari used a M134D minigun that fired 7.62mm NATO at 50 rounds per second, the pine trunk fell down within a minute. A much denser mesquite tree was also cut in short order.
