    Ok, so I received a "special promotion" email from entertainment.ie this morning, this is what it said:

    We've found God's number. We can't tell you how. There could be almighty repercussions. If you're looking for answers, give the big man himself a call.
    Call God direct: 01 688 0004
    So have rang this number anyway and there's a a voicemail with "God" on it... anybody know what this is all about???
    By the way am nothing to do with entertainment.ie just curious as to what this promotion is supposed to be for??:confused:

    Nobody calls him on the phone, 'cept for the Pope, maybe, in Rome.

    Maybe it's just because he hadn't put his number up all over Dublin...

    its kind off annoying - someone could always just take them to court for falce avertising, not for the money more just to cause **** and hassle for those who are doing it, when i saw it i assumed it was some church doing it.

    It's one of the best marketing plans I have ever seen. 11850 are the culprits, not sure how much the phone call will cost you, but this idea is simply genious, fair play to the person who thought it up :)

    Mike, a man in Topeka, Kansas, decided to write a book about churches
    around the world.
    He started by flying to San Francisco, and started working east from there.
    Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs and making notes.
    He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall and was intrigued with a sign
    which read "$10,000 a minute."

    Seeking out the priest he asked about the phone and the sign. The priest
    answered that this golden telephone, is in fact a direct line to Heaven and if he pays the price
    he can talk directly to God. The man thanked the pastor and continued on his way.

    As he continued to visit churches in Seattle, Virginia, Michigan, Chicago, Milwaukee, and all around
    the world, he found more phones with the same sign, and the same answer from each priest.

    Finally, he arrived in Ireland. Cork, to be precise. Upon entering a church, behold he saw the usual
    golden telephone. But THIS time the sign read "calls 35 cents".

    Fascinated, he asked to talk to the priest. "Father, I have been cities all
    over the world and in each church I found this golden telephone and have been told it's a direct
    line to Heaven and that I could talk to God-but in the other churches the cost was $10,000 a minute.
    Your sign reads 35 cents a call. Why?

    The priest smiling benignly replied, "you're in Cork now, boy....it's a
    local call."

    God = Good, Devil = Evil
    So God is the opposite to the devil.

    The Devil's number is 666, which means that God's number is 999.

    So God is a member of the police!!!!!! WOW!! Who would have thought it?! Well either that or he lives in a police station. Hmmmm

    Nope, as the Pixies said - if the Devil is 6 then God is 7

    Obviously not as it's actually for 11811 - a rival company!

    Just like Pierce Brosnan is from Navan (no matter how much he'd like to forget that fact)& has an English accent, just God isn't as big a c-unit
