Call it on an android phone.
it's just unattributed for me, what is it supposed to do ?
My phone has this rainbow animation and it vibrates like crazy.
Me too, the call button flashes rainbow colours for a few seconds after finishing dialing it. Actually hitting the call button did nothing.
Hmmm... I have a Samsung (and using the default phone app), and it doesn't do that. Maybe only when using Google phone app?
wtf ? are you playing me ?
Nah mate, that's what happens for me... I bet you could understand my surprise when I had the bright idea of calling the number, when I was bored one evening.
Well that's easy to remember!
I've had a bit of a tumble
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to inform you of a fire that has broken out on the premises of 123 Cavendon Road... no, that's too formal.
Fire! Fire! Help me! 123 Cavendon Road. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours truly, Maurice Moss.
I’ll just put this over here, with the rest of the fire.
it's got a song and everything! IT Crowd for the uninitiated

What's the 1066?
Specifically the Battle of Hastings.
Would someone from that time recognize 1066 as the year? Were they using modern date formats for years at that time?
Yes, but in Roman numerals, not Arabic (MLXVI). The Gregorian calendar was 6 days ahead due to not having leap years yet. The date format wouldn't matter since it's just a year being listed.
The Gregorian calendar was 6 days ahead due to not having leap years yet.
Still better than the Roman Calendar
Perhaps, but we could have at least added the new months to the end so the names still made sense. Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec (7, 8, 9, 10) are the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th months of the year??
Could just go back to marking the new year in March, like Caesar intended.
I was referring to how the Roman calendar only had 355 days. It was fucking stupid.
Probably yes. Dionysius Exiguus invented numbering years since the supposed birth of Christ, instead of counted by era of Roman consuls. So by 1066 the practice would have been common throughout Christian Europe. The only doubts I have are around the introduction of the Gregorian Calendar later, and whether the 14 October 1066 would be counted as the 14 October 1066 in their system. But I think the year would be right.

1312 missing

I don't get the 420?
You are one of the lucky 10000 🥳
The number 10000 is based on the birth rate of only the USA

Well it's about weed and specifically also the time 4:20 o clock. There is a whole ass Wikipedia article for this so it's apparently more complicated than i thought.
A number associated with weed.
