the babel fish... that's what AltaVista calls it's translating software. Babel is in referance to babylon, where God "confused" the single language of the time into the many different languages.

rapscaLLion... an English term I found in the dictionary... means trouble maker, or rogue... that type of person. Funny, because most would describe me as a peace maker on these forums... or the old ones anyway

on another note:

retard? thats awfull. He was admired by nearly every brit ever.

And yes i agree, you are a peacemaker, well in the old days it was actually hard to see who was making peace and who was making war, because warmakers argued with peacemakers. Confusing eh? I hate postmon.

911? that wouldnt do much good.

I wonder if i dial 911 it'll put me through to american services. or maybe 1911 will work. I wonder if it works the other way round too, with either 999 or 44999 from america?

999 is obviously the best number.

say you are half dead, what would be easier? pressing the same button three times OR pressing the same button twice then another one?

Vote Now: BEST EMERGENCY CALL NUMBER!

I vote 999! Hehehe!
(traitor to my original post = 911)

Yeah, guess its much faster to dial 999, maybe i'm just influence by the TV series 'RESCUE 911' hosted by William Shatner. (Beam Me Up Scotty!)

BTW, did u guyz know that non of the Star Trek series or movies ever mention 'Beam Me Up Scotty'? I read it somewhere on the Trekkies webs, they just say 'Beam Me Up, Mr Scott'... its the media thats been making the hype!

(Whats wrong with ur ears, Mr Spock?)

999 won't work because it's easier to "accidentally" dial 999 than 911. And 9 and 1 are in the top left and bottom right of the keypad, so it's easier to find.
That would be my guess anyway.

999 is best. But then maybe I'm just influenced by the TV series 999. Or the fact that I'm British (yeah!). What would be easier to find, one key, or two keys which are right across the keypad from each other?

What if you are trapped so you can only reach the 9 key from where you are, you can't stretch your arm out further to reach the 1 key? And the phone happens to be handily bolted to the wall? I'll stop now.

i've found that TV corrupted me with the bloody number... everytime i was in an emergency in the UK i'd yell "Someone call 911!" too many american shows on SkyOne - however knowing my luck now i'm in the states i'll get into the habit of saying 999 hahaa

in aussie its 666 isn't it? i always thought that was amusing

apparently 000, but 999 is the closest we've got to a cool number. It's 666 upside down. rapscaLLion, I wouldn't dial the wrong number, as I know no numbers that start in "99".

i guess 666 is the emergency services for down under. I mean way down under, as in the center of the earth. Although when you ring the number they come along and saw you in little bits and stick you back together again.
