 ...I don't care about the 3-diget emergency number... but this 5 digit 
number is interesting... (10022 for police?)... I once heard about a 7-10 
digit emergency number... (somewhere in some under-developed country... I 
can't recall where... ;_; I saw it on TV 2-3 months ago...) now, in case 
of emergency, who would even remember a 7 to 10 digit number??? ^_^;
