Wrong Number Generator

Posted January 24, 2008 10:32 AM

From Coolest Gadgets:

The Wrong Number Generator is one of those products that you would only need at one opportune time. You would need the Wrong Number Generator when someone you know is trying to call a number, but you don't want him or her to call that number. Assuming you could foresee this scenario, all you would have to do is install the Wrong Number Generator that you see in this photo. It snaps in to the phone jack easily, and whatever number the user calls will automatically end up being the wrong number. The potential is endless. Say a nasty co-worker is trying to call your boss to report your bad behavior, and he ends up getting Dominoes Pizza!

Now, if only someone will invent a device that can mess up cellphones, causing them to call and receive wrong numbers, FUBAR text messages, garble up annoying ring tones etc. That should take care of the annoying cellphone pests we keep meeting these days.

An interesting concept, but if everyone had one, there would be chaos.

Refer to this interesting website, right here:http://www.beckjord.com/nocellphoneshere/
