Experimentation!

As all of you know the basis of Science is the repeatability of experimentation. If, when I submerge a kitten in a barrel of water it drowns, and when you put a kitten in barrel of water in a barrel it drowns, and if Guy in France, puts a kitten in a barrel of water and it drowns, we can safely surmise that a barrel of water will rid us of the kitten menace.

But due to the information age we have a plethora of information at our fingertips. Why check to see if a store closes at 8pm when we can just check the internet, why see if cloudy skies will deliver rain, when weather.com will tell us, and why drown a cat in a barrel of water when we can just download a video showing that self same kitten?

Into this culture I was thrown with the following puzzlement; How do I remove pictures from my phone and get them to a computer. Certainly those who know me are surprised and even slightly embarrassed that I , a technofile of no little acumen would be stumped on such a trivial task, but truth be told, my ninja skilz are severely lacking in in the personal hand held device arena.

So there I was searching the internet to no avail! Neither Craigslist no Verizon's own site would lend any clue on how to proceed, when I fell back to Science! I would experiment. In the place that one traditionally put a phone number to send a text message, I would instead, painstakingly type my email address, and low and behold, the image you see below!
