   Back when I was in telecom, one of the trade mags had an April Fool's   
   issue. One of the news articles was a panicked story about the phone   
   companies running out of imaginary 555- numbers for Hollywood.   
      
   The spokesperson said they were working on FXing (ed note:   
   transporting foreign telephone numbers) to allow for new imaginary   
   numbers to be created. They were waiting on research on how to bill   
   for this imaginary service, but since they had experience billing for   
   not printing phone numbers they had faith they could come up with a   
   fair price.
