Over the last few weeks, I've been receiving strange calls every few days on my mobile phone. A prerecorded male voice talks for about 20 seconds in Spanish and then hangs up. I don't speak Spanish so I have no idea what the guy is saying or why he's calling me. Tonight, my pal Jennifer Lum got a mystery call and after doing some Googling, came upon this fun site Who Called Us. You can enter the number that shows up on caller ID, see how many other people report the same caller, and share comments, clues, and speculations (peppered with some racist bullshit) about who or what is doing the dialing. Nobody has uncovered the identity of my mystery caller yet, but it makes me feel a little better to know that at least 563 other people are being annoyed by the same person. Link
