When I’m watching a movie and a character dials a 555 phone number, it always kind of takes me out of the movie.  555 was officially set aside for movies in 1973, after the production companies started getting complaints from innocent people who were being harassed by a constant ringing telephone.  For example, that song “867-5309/Jenny” led to a bunch of (drunk) people calling the number and asking for Jenny.  But the 555 is only restricted in North America, as Gary Larson, creator of the cartoon The Far Side, once drew a 555 number which people could dial to prank call Satan.  Well, in Australia, the 555 number isn’t a fake one, so some guy tried to sue him, because he got a ton of calls from people wanting to speak to Satan.  I guess the Number of the Beast is now 555. And Satan is Australian, which gives “Down Under” a whole new meaning.
