- In front of the dorms there are telephone boxes you can use to call
- your friend so he can come down and let you in the building. These boxes
- do not have handsets, they are like speakerphones. I have obtained
- the secret "what number am I calling from" code for the university phone
- system, so I now have the phone number for the box in front of the
- building I live in.
-
- If you call this number, the box will pick up and you can begin yelling
- things through it (they keep the volume turned up quite high).
-
- The implications of this are obvious, so does anyone have any good
- suggestions for what to do with this?
-
- We've done the yell-at-the-pizza-man kind of thing. Also, one of the
- RA's windows is right next to this phone, so we've been calling out
- helpfull messages to him late at night.
-
- Please excuse the incoherent nature of this posting, I've been up
- all night working on a term project.
