And on a completely unrelated note, this seemed like the perfect place to share two fun pictures that didn't quite fit in an Error'd.
James spotted this emergency telephone that seemed... a bit impossible to use...

Lot's of people don't realise it but I'm photoshopped. My eyes were done using duplicate and flip horizontal.

Ah, what wonderfully disbelieving people.
The phone is almost certainly not photoshopped. You can all stop saying it is. I might have been a touch more suspicious had I not run across a near identical looking phone with only 1 quick dial button a mere week ago. Outside a police station. They produce these phones for places that need an emergency phone, but they don't want to worry about things going wrong. Essentially you pick up the phone, press a button, and you're through. I can't begin to guess as to what button goes to where, but put money on the fact that if you pick up that phone and press 1, you'll get through to someone that can help regardless of which of the 4 emergency services are needed. I also, thinking about it, have a suspicion that that phone may not even be connected to a real telephone line. Rather, it's connected to a dedicated line that only connects to three places. If you're still not convinced, I may take a trip back to said police station to get a ridiculously high res picture of said phone. Oh and Alex, can I get this blue'd? |
