The latest, a SMS search service. SMS a message to 46645 (googl) and find local business listings, product prices, dictionary definitions, and more. Go Google!"

If google were 1337, their sms number would be 600613.

Why would they want their SMS to be "boobie"? I think you're thinking of a different kind of search engine...

If you're viewing pictures of naked women with a postage-stamp screen i doubt its the action of watching thats making you go blind.

which reminds me of the new nation-wide info phone# for the police in the Netherlands.
It's 0900-8844, thus 0900-TUIG, which translates in 0900-SCUM..
Coulnd't help thinking that there is at least _one_ cop in holland who has a sense of humour...
