The Popularity Dialer

I've already talked about Samuel L. Jackson giving you a call about Snakes on a Plane, but what about setting a call to save yourself? This is perfect to get away from a meeting or a bad date. BoingBoing has more:
Have you ever been in a situation where you wished your cell phone would ring? Maybe you wanted to look extra important or popular on that hot date. Or maybe you just needed an excuse to escape from an unpleasant meeting.

With "The Popularity Dialer", you can plan ahead. Via a web interface, you can choose to have your phone called at a particular time (or several times). At the elected time, your phone will be dialed and you will hear a prerecorded message that's one half of a conversation. Thus, you will be prompted to have a fake conversation and will easily fool those around you.
