Not to sure if this is true. However, it maybe worth knowing.

PIN NUMBER REVERSAL

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 in4321.

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.

i still can't believe in this day and age that people believe anything they hear word of mouth.. especially if it's come "from the police", or "it was broadcast on TV"..

"a friend of a friend helped an [insert minority here] woman in birmingham the other day, and she said thanks and warned her not to be in town on [insert random date here]!!!!!1 OMG terristz!!!!!11"

"AOL are testing advertising by word of mouth! they will give you $0.50 for every person you forward this e-mail to!! it's true - a friend of mine forwarded it to everyone in their address book, and got a check [sic] for $197.00 the following month!! gotta be worth a go, hey???!!!1"

How to Determine the Gender of Your Date

• Look at her (or his) hand. Compare the length of your date’s fourth and second fingers. Most men have ring fingers that are conspicuously longer than their index fingers, whereas most women have ring fingers that are close to the same length. Testosterone levels likely account for the greater length. Also take notice of the amount of hair on your date’s knuckles, hands, and forearms. Most men will have visible, dark hair (or signs of recently removed hair) on their hands and wrists, and sometimes knuckles.

• Be suspicious of baggy clothing. Your intended may be trying to conceal a telltale bulge.

• Look for an Adam’s apple. Most men have a bump in the middle of their throat. Most women do not.

• Observe shoulders and hips. Men’s shoulders tend to be broader than their hips, while women’s hips and shoulders tend to be closer to the same width. Do not be fooled by shoulder pads.

• Follow your target up a flight of stairs. Take note of how she (or he) moves while ascending. Men tend to walk in a more “straight ahead†motion with minimal “wobbling†back and forth. Women tend to sway a bit from side to side, due to the position of their pelvises. Women also tend to lean forward slightly.

Be Aware

• Look for at least three of these characteristics before you draw conclusions about your date’s gender, then make your plans accordingly.

• Voice is not always a good indicator of gender—a low voice may simply be the result of hard living.

How to Survive If You Are Caught Slacking

Surfing the Web

• Blame your search engine.
Explain that your search engine mistakenly has provided you with an address to an inappropriate site. Alternatively, claim you made a typing error in the Web address.

• Blame your browser.
Say that someone has set a new “home page†on your Internet browser. Sounding annoyed, loudly ask, “Who keeps setting my browser to open on this sports page? I’m trying to get those new numbers for my report!†You can also claim that you’re having trouble loading certain work-related websites and so you are visiting more popular sites to see if the computer is working properly.

• Blame the website.
Claim that the window with inappropriate material opened unexpectedly while you were viewing something else. Lament that such “pop-ups†are very common and should be regulated.

• Blame an e-mail correspondent.
Claim that someone sent you the hyperlink, and you clicked it without knowing what it was.

Be Aware
• When surfing the Web, always keep the corporate intranet site up in a separate browser window. Be ready to click over quickly.
• Position your monitor at an angle that prevents anyone standing at the entrance to your office or cube from viewing the screen.

Asleep at Your Desk

• Blame work.
Say, “I’m so exhausted; I was here until midnight last night!†Do not attempt this if your boss works late and you do not.

• Blame medication.
Claim that your new allergy medicine has been making you drowsy. Say, “Those antihistamines just knock me out!â€

• Blame lunch.
Say, “Wow, I guess I should not have eaten that turkey sandwich. Triptophan really makes me sleepy!â€

Be Aware
When taking a nap, always rest your elbow on your desk and keep your arm perpendicular to the desktop. Your forehead should rest on your four fingers—your thumb, spread apart from the fingers, should support your jaw. This position will keep your head up and aimed at your desk. Face in a direction so that it is not immediately visible to someone approaching your desk that your eyes are closed. Keep an important group of documents in your perceived line of sight so as to appear to be reading intently.
