    The code is slow because the pretty girl in accounting is incessantly complaining to get the boy she likes to swing by.

    And maybe she put the WTF code in there herself to get him to call her! And the write call doesn't write anything, because, well... she's just an accountant.

    Someone copied the binary into the calculator, converted until they got a 7 digit number, then typed the result back. Because, I don't know, it's only 7 digits. What could go wrong?

    Sloppy, yes. Possible, very.

    i think that number is now routinely left unconnected because of that song.

    For years, there was a movement to call the number in every area code and keep in a centralized location who, if anyone, answered.
