Keep 911 for real emergencies. Add 922 for fake emergencies.
This is the message for 922: "Thank you for calling the prank emergency line. Your prank will be recorded and the best ones will be added into a 'best of' compilation of the year. Thank you."
Putting an incentive (the "best of" compilation) will push a lot of those pranks to the new number ("Hey man! My prank was chosen! I rule!") and those compilations could be sold as profit to help pay for both 911 and 922 services.
While the precise cause of the honeybee crisis is unknown, scientists generally blame a combination of factors, including poor diets and stress. Some bees die from infestations of the Varroa mite, a bloodsucking parasite that weakens bees and introduces diseases to the hive. Environmental groups also point to a class of pesticides known as neonicotinoids.
Because environmental groups, of course, are just a bunch of nutjobs and couldn't possibly include scientists...
Get ready for the "humanity will survive because reason xyz" posts, possibly something about pollinating crops with low-paying jobs or even freakin' drones or something.

I've also had my Hotmail address since before Microsoft bought them (or took them over, or whatever). It's still free, it still works, so I still use it for pointless websites that I'm too lazy to do what I'm about to describe next:
I also have my own domain name where I control the email accounts and I make an alias for each and every company/organisation/etc that asks for my email. Makes it easy to track who's selling my address or has security so bad that other people can get it. It's easy to then redirect all that spam into the trash.

Apple does need the money. How else are they going to come up with revolutionary products like computers which can't even have their RAM upgraded or still sell computers with slow 5400 RPM* laptop hard drives in their low-end models?

I do share your feelings about the cosplaying though... unless it's a cute girl dressed like Fluttershy. If that's okay with her, I mean.
So they're the placebo of tests?
What do you mean, one of the worst movies ever made?
It's the worst movie ever made!
For everything else, there's MasterCard.
It would be interesting to see a breakdown of the calls:
- real emergencies
- non-emergencies made by idiots
- prank calls

Your signature doesn't help for such topics.
Harper's government, helped by the Liberals, forcefully pushes bill C-51 to make such government spying legal.
Want to bet a lot of U.S.A. communications are going to go through Canada's carriers before reaching their destination? (even within the U.S.A.)

A funny mash-up reply... and I'm out of mod points today.
Mod parent funny!
Oh well, that sure clear things up then. /Facepalm
You can have them scrambled, hard-boiled, soft-boiled, sunny side-up, deviled, baked, curried, etc.
Oh wait, did you say "engineers"?

Maybe all of the negative association was the reason Darkcoin changed its name to Dashcoin?
I see the moderator hasn't seen the specifications of the 2014 Mac mini.
Wow, Ruby really does suck. I'm sticking with PHP.
Something like this?

* I might be wrong. It could be 4200 RPM...
That new 3D printer from HP is indeed amazing, but with its size and price, it's clearly meant for businesses.

Don't name anything with the word Belg... oh, I almost said it right there.
This word has been known to start intergalactic wars.
