On some phone networks, you can pick up a landline and dial "211" to have a voice system read back your phone number to you. I don't know if that still works, but it's worth a shot.
It's theoretically possible that a culture capable of attaining interstellar/intergalactic travel may have been able to eliminate almost all forms of conflict. They may not see a need for weapons.
However, such a culture could possibly be very physically delicate, so they would probably need to invest a lot of research into cosmic radiation shielding, which (when taken to extremes) could completely shield them from anything we could through at them. Even rocks.
Long ago, I was hit by a worm that installed the RC5 Bovine client in the background (it managed to sneak the 300kb payload in over dialup, impressive:)). Perhaps it's a similar situation? When I researched it, I found that the user id it was being submitted under had been banned from the service.
They should have some sort of loophole in the client that forces it to notify the user in the event of a banned account, even in silent mode:)

And it has to be *tin* foil, not that cheapo aluminum foil crap that's been floating around. I'm looking at YOU, Reynolds Wrap.
Now THAT is a money shot.
Canada wouldn't be totally upset ... we have a lot of farmland. I'm sure many of the oil workers would rather be farmworkers, for safety reasons. :)

How do you turn "darkness" and "gloom" into weapons?
And it would be promptly eliminated as a candidate with all those typos. :)

You might be able to get away with throwing down a rug or something. Or installing VMWare.
