Nerdy Phone Numbers

Saw this little gem, though I think they goofed it.

Perhaps it should have been

(741) - 555 - 7805

Or,

324 - 5532

  • Not exactly a full telephone number (missing the zip code), but in 1981, Tommy Tutone released the song "867-5309/Jenny". Apparently, people in several area codes would dial this number and ask for Jenny.  Many people had to change their numbers (from 867-5309) to avoid these sorts of calls.  Strange, but true, one of my bosses set the Password for a login on one of our products to 8675309, I remember using the song lyrics to remind me of the password from time to time.

    There is a similar song from a German band 'Spider Murphy Gang' named 'Skandal im Sperrbezirk'. The girl behind the number is Rosi and the number is 32.16.8. Also not a full number, you probably need the area code of Munich. Extra cred for being nice binary numbers.
