My cars making death threats!
So i started up my car this morning and it made a death threat:

Then it predicted the end of the world:

The thing that puzzled me the most was how it could be quite so precise, i mean how does it know that everything will end in 183 miles?

About a 5 years ago the cops showed up at about 3:00 AM wanting to know why we called 911. After telling them we were all sleeping they asked to see our phone, which then confirmed their suspicions. It was dead. They said it happens a lot that when a cordless phone is about to run out of battery it calls 911.
I guess, don't put a phone in your car.Last edited by page-zone; 03-18-2008 at 07:48 PM.

It was a home phone, and they said it happens a lot but I never heard of it till then. We threw the phone away, and never replaced it. So for the last 5 years the telemarketers have probably been pretty frustrated, since they were the only ones that still called it.
Heh, just did a search for "cordless phone 911" and it does happen alot - or at least used to:

You can calla number to your heart's content but if there's no phone attached to it you won't get anywhere.

I read about this a while back... the dead phone calling 911. It's been a while though and I forgot all about it. That page you linked to is the exact same one I read last time.
