PIN NUMBER REVERSAL (GOOD TO KNOW)
If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM
machine, you can notify the police by entering your Pin # in reverse.
For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321. The
ATM recognizes
that your pin number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the
machine.
The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to
the robber,
the police will be immediately dispatched to help you.
This information was recently broadcasted on TV and it states that it is
seldom used because people don't know it exists.
Got sent this info in an email today, does it work? anyone tried it??

You're all credulous numbskulls. Correction, Disco Dan is a credulous numbskull.

I guess it requires so much more inteligence to post something helpful than something negative...

I dunno about that, eh. I put heaps of effort into posting negative things, and I'm really smart.
Most people can barely dream of aspiring to the quality of acerbic vitriol that I spew on a daily basis.
Bow before me.

Then on that basis, you could be said to be a good person then? If it is that hard for you to be negative...

Negativity is often deserved...

interestingly enough if I add 0001 to my pin code on the door alarm here .. "I'm too fat and lazy to be a real cop" cops turn up

logically, there are plenty of pin # combo's that are palindromic... therefore that scenario would mean just a few to many false calls to the police.
anyway, Ive got the perfect way to avoid this issue - dont have any money!

Standard feature, innit. Same as the one at my place.

I did.
But I doubt many others did, that would too much like doing some research for themselves.

On that basis, your comprehension skills could be said to be abysmal.
