867-53 0h God!
The non-news of the day appears to be Jim Carey's new movie Bruce Almighty and its reference to an actual phone number from God. The phone number is a real number in many places and real people are getting phone calls from people wishing to talk to God. Most are annoyed a few are taking in it in stride. What I can't understand is why they aren't taking advantage and charging the people that call to hear a recorded message from God. Anyway, I haven't seen the movie and probably won't but I wondered what the actual number was. I looked at all the news stories about it and none of the press will publish it. What a bunch of pansies! So I turned to Usenet news. I couldn't find the answer there either, just a bunch of idiots with snappy replies to the question, "What is God's phone number?"

1-666-JRY-FLWL both from alt.showbiz.gossip
After about 20 minutes of search (an eternity in Internet time) I finally I found the number (I think) from alt.jokes. Here it is, bring on the lawsuits!
