Pretty cool math trick...
1. Grab a calculator. (you won't be able to do this one in your head)
2. Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the area code)
3. Multiply by 80
4. Add 1
5. Multiply by 250
6. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number
7. Add the last 4 digits of your phone number again.
8. Subtract 250
9. Divide number by 2
Do you recognize the answer?

Yeah its funny, when I go home to my parents in TN and I use the phone at their house, I always get the "This call can not be completed as dialed." message because I am dialing the area code, and you dont have to do that there.land_shark3 wrote:<----- silly fellow ATL'n![]()
I've lived here so long I don't even consider 404 to be my area code.

Some people are like Slinkies.
Not really good for anything, but you still can't help but
smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.

Sometimes more than others,
we see who and what and where we are,
I'm just a one man band,
With my feet in the sand,
Tonight I just need my guitar
