1-1-8!

Recently, I posted about the CERN rap. Apparently, rap videos are not a unique way to communicate in Switzerland.

A few months ago, some long-term public phone numbers were privatized, causing a lot of confusion. Chief among the problems was that the number to call if your house caught fire (118) was confused with information. People who only needed to know when daylight savings went into effect were calling Geneva's fire hot line.

Here's the video that remedied the problem. It's all in French. But if you've got soul, it don't matter, yo.
