So, yesterday, in one of the classes that I'm captioning this quarter, there was a guest speaker who was talking about the services provided by calling 211. I don't have time to get into the details this morning, but basically they can set you up with any community services you might need. It was pretty interesting, and it got me thinking. Now, of course we're all familiar with 911 emergency services and 411 directory assistance, but being introduced to 211 got me thinking, just how many of these three-digit numbers are there?
Also sprach Wikipedia. Now I haven't had the time to get into researching this myself, what with working and being obsessed with Shadow Hearts 3, but it's still pretty interesting.
Or maybe I'm the only person who didn't know there was an entire cadre of "N11" numbers. <p><div style="text-align:center"></div></p>Edited by: BrainWalker at: 10/4/06 10:39
