Got this from Fred the engraver...
On a calculator or on paper - (or in your head)
1. Take the first three numbers of your phone number - not the area code.
2. Multiply it by 80.
3. Add 1.
4. Multiply it by 250.
5. Add the last four numbers of your phone number.
6. Add the last four numbers of your phone number again.
7. Subtract 250.
8. Divide by 2.
Recognize that number?
That's so cool!

Bryan,
I don't think that works for dyslexics... it's hard to read em when they're in the right order, nearly impossible for me the way you've jumbled the letters.
You think that ph number trick is wierd, try punching your ph number into google's search engine, you might not be too happy with all the info you can find about yourself.
