    Prank on Irish Zoo.

    Dublin Zoo was forced to shut down its switchboard yesterday after thousands of Irish mobile users fell for a new take on one of the oldest phone tricks in the book.

    Text messages have been doing the rounds in Ireland telling unwitting recipients to call a number and ask for one of a number of named contacts.

    The Irish Independent reports that the zoo?s switchboard went into meltdown yesterday, and has now been forced to answer all calls with a recorded message saying: "If you are calling to speak to Mr Rory Lion, C Lion, G Raffe or anyone similar please be aware that you are the victim of a hoax message." Other contacts include Ana Conda and Rory Lyons.

    Ok, side from the obviousness of the names, you mean there are that many people over there stupid enough to just call random names that show up in a text message? Can I get their email addresses? I've got some checks I need help cashing, and I'm willing to deal them in.

          But no one would send you junk text messages so therefore every text is safe.

                I have been too busy to play any games. I would make time for CainsLair games though.
