7. Why do phone numbers in Hollywood films start with '555'?
They use the 555 prefix, because it is not a real number in the United States. If they used a number that actually worked, some idiot would try calling the number. We have a lot of idiots in the United States so I'd say 1 person out of 100 people would try calling this number. If 200 million people watched this movie, 2 million people would try to call this number. That poor unfortunate person who by no fault of their own ended up with this number! It would be a nightmare for that person.
