In a previous company I worked for, we often made office-wide
announcements over the phone ("I'll be shutting down the main data base
server in one minute") - everyone had a speaker phone. I've argued that
the number one should dial to be able to make such an announcement should
have been 192168255255...
And dialling 255255255255 should ring all the phones in the world.
