So, the other night my wife and I were at a restaurant enjoying some Mexican cuisine and a live band and I look over and see a woman wearing boots that look like someone skinned Chewbacca and turned him into footwear (and I'm very sorry to anyone reading this that the picture did not work out). I immediately text this fact to my nerdy friends because I can't stop giggling and one responds asking if I'm hanging out with Bossk. When I try to respond, my phone autocorrects Bossk with 'Visakhapatnam'.

Now I can understand due to the layout of the keyboard why my phone would think that I was trying to talk about one of the major ports in India, I'm just not sure why my phone has that already programmed in. It was certainly good for a chuckle on my end and just thought I'd share with you folks.

Nice. 

But you gotta love the auto-correct functions on phones.

After Red Dead Redemption came out, my buddy and I started playing online games together.  Often times I would just get a random text telling me to get on Red Dead and just as often I would send him similar texts.

One of the texts I sent him when I was asking if he wanted to play Red Dead was just "Pew, Pew, Yeehaw?".  On a keypad the numbers that have the letters 'P', 'e' and 'w' apparently spells out another word, too.  I'm just glad I checked the message one last time before I sent it or the message he would have gotten would have been "Sex, Sex, Yeehaw?".

Mine suggests Bleak for Bossk, but if you scroll across, it has Visakhapatnam as a one of the potential options.  I got a text from my housemate today while I was at the shops asking me to pick up 3 "Large Aborigines" for them.
