Fighting Back Against Ghost Calls
An anonymous reader writes "You're doing something interesting. The phone rings. You get up, pick up the phone, and hear only silence. It could be a slasher waiting outside your house, but it's probably an errant computer at a telemarketer. This article describes how some are fighting back by setting up websites to track the worst telemarketers by their caller ids. The article mentions whocalled.us (one of the funnier urls I've ever seen), 800notes.com and numberzoom.com . One intrepid guy is even writing a program to check these sites when the call comes in before ringing the phone."
Well, good thing I had a bit of karma to burn. I was going for "Funny", but I guess Troll works too. I wonder what happened to focusing on modding up, though...
I just took a ghost shit.
Nice thick, stinky, slightly juicy on the outside, jimmy rocket. Slid out my backdoor like the titanic into the sea.
I looked down as I went to wipe, and voila, it was gone! Like it never happened. Maybe it didn't? Scary when you think about it...
