crossing of wires on the phone to get free calls is true..
the dorm I was in we used a paper clip and shoved it in
where the cord goes into the reciever (you have to remove
the rubber off first) then you jiggle it until you hear static then
release it.. WALA! thats it. Warning.. dont do this at home..
it is not only illegal.. but also you get a mean shock if you
do it wrong (it was fun watching the froshs getting shocked) :)

			aloha and mahalo from Hawaii!
