More than 2,500 people tried to ring Dr Who after his mobile number appeared in the TV show.
The timelord's sidekicks called the Doctor, played by David Tennant, on 07700 900 461 in the series' penultimate show.
Since then, more than 2,500 fans have tried to get through but were left disappointed, reports The Sun.
One fan complained on the BBC website: "I phoned it but there was just an annoying network message."
Adolf Hitler has been letting fly with foul-mouthed rants about football and politics in a new craze of internet spoofs.
YouTube jokers have been tinkering with the sub-titles for iconic 2004 German film Downfall about the final days in Hitler's bunker.
Instead of angrily addressing his generals about the dire situation in Berlin, one version has him bursting with rage about Toon fans hounding boss Mike Ashley out of Newcastle United.
In another spoof, Hitler hits the roof when he finds out Cristiano Ronaldo is being sold to Real Madrid.
He is shown going crazy at Labour's by-election disaster in Glasgow East and losing the rag when his generals change his broadband supplier and get him tied into a 12-month contract.
He is also seen exploding with contempt about Barack Obama's visit to Berlin.
The craze for tinkering with Downfall's subtitles started in Spain in 2006, when a computer programmer changed a rant from the original film to instead rail against a flight simulator.
Shortly after, a Brit posted a version about his Xbox Live subscription being cancelled. The clip has now been viewed 2,959,881 times.
But the Hitler series really took off with the fuhrer learning about Sheffield United, then managed by Neil Warnock, being relegated at the expense of West Ham.
Movie makers, Constantine Film, have failed to see the funny side of the clips and threatened the jokers with legal action.
An Australian zoo has dropped an ad campaign offering free visits to people with ginger hair to highlight the plight of orang-utans.
Adelaide Zoo ran advertisements offering "free Zoo entry for all rangas" during the school holidays, reports the Advertiser.
"Ranga" - an abbreviation of orang-utan - is a common nickname in Australia for redheads.
"We seem to be getting quite a bit of a negative reaction to that request," said Zoos SA's director of conservation programs Kevin Evans.
"People are possibly more sensitive about it than we thought," he said.
"We have a campaign over the school holidays because of orang-utans being an endangered species - and so are human redheads," Mr Evans said.
"Because of the way people move around these days, the genes that carry redheads are breeding out to brunettes and blondes."
The zoo has dropped the ads but will continue to offer free entry to people with red hair for the next two weeks.
Zoo staff will not seek proof that patrons are natural redheads: "We're not actually checking tops and tails, or anything like that," Mr Evans said.
This sent shivers up my spine… apparently “Coconut Crabs” or “Robber Crabs” are of the crab breed “Fuckus Hugeous”.
The coconut crab is able to crack coconuts with it’s claws and eat the inside.
Knowing that these things are insanely huge AND have pincers that could crack your skull open, why wouldn’t you hold one up to your face, near your tender supple body:
I know I would. I’d probably get drunk, fool around with my friends, and stuff it up my pant leg and be like “Look guys… I have CRABS! HAHAHA” and everyone would think it was hilarious… including the ER staff that sedates me while the surgeon tries to re-attach my genatiles.
Oh, what’s that? You aren’t that impressed? How about if they can be sky-blue and scare the bejesus out of you as you walked through a forest?
I would totally pass out if I was walking through the forest and ran into one of these at eye-level near my head doing crab-things… I’d run screaming out of the jungle like a little girl.
Dis Be Awesome!!!
The worlds most expensive coffee (Kopi Luwak) is made from a bean which has been passed by a cat. The droppings of the palm civet which lives in the coffee plantations of Sumatra, are highly prized for their flavour. The raw, red coffee berries are part of its normal diet. The animal would select the good beans and digest them where the enzymes in the stomach of the civet add to the coffee's flavor by breaking down the proteins that give coffee its bitter taste

You've always wondered how the other sex experiences an | ||

| Finally understand how a woman experiences pleasure: |
Before I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man, who's not a creep.
One who is handsome, smart and strong.
One who loves to listen long.
One who thinks before he speaks.
When he says he'll call, he won't wait weeks.
I pray that he is gainfully employed.
When I spend his cash, he won't be annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens my door.
Massages my back and begs to do more.
Oh! Send me a man who'll make love to my mind,
and knows what to answer to "How big is my behind?"
I pray that this man will love me to no end,
And never ever attempt to hit on my friend.
Amen.
I pray for a deaf-mute nymphomaniac with huge breasts
who owns a liquor store and a boat.
Amen
What can I say... NOM!!!
An Italian model and former "Big Brother" cast member says she is selling her virginity for nearly $1.5 million.
Raffella Fico, 20, an aspiring actress who appeared on the Italian version of "Big Brother" this year, told the celebrity magazine Chi she will have sex for the first time with a man willing to pay $1,419,595 for the honor, ANSA reported Tuesday.
"I can't wait to see who's going to pull out the money to have me," she said. "I don't know what it's like to have sex."
Fico said despite her high asking price for her virginity, she plans to be choosy about the buyer. "If I don't like him I'll just have a glass of wine and forget about it," she said.
Fico's brother was quoted by Chi as backing up his sister's claims of sexual purity. "She's never had a boyfriend. I swear on my mother's grave," he told the magazine. "She's a devout Catholic and prays to Padre Pio every night."
A company called Nexicon has partnered up with YouTube to offer content owners a way to monetize videos uploaded to the site, but that's not all.

An angler fishing for carp in the West Midlands was shocked to find an aggressive snapping turtle on the end of his rod.
The Alligator Snapping Turtle, usually found in the Mississippi, was caught by Drew Hammond at Earlswood Lakes in Birmingham
Mr Hammonds, 37, from Walsall, thought he had landed a large fish at first, reports the Daily Telegraph.
As the turtle's spiky shell emerged from the water, Mr Hammonds said he initially feared the animal was a crocodile and prepared to flee.
Mr Hammonds, a satellite engineer, said: "I had put that much bait on the end, I had to catch something. Then I spotted a big shell coming out of the water, with spikes on its back.
"My first instinct was to run, as I thought it was a crocodile or an alligator. I dropped my rod and ran, then I turned back and realised it was a turtle.
"I don't think I was too far wrong because they are related."
He and his friends struggled to unhook the turtle because it was so aggressive.
Conservation groups blame pet owners abandoning animals for the increasing numbers of foreign turtles and terrapins being found in British waterways.
A streaker fell over and knocked himself unconscious during a football match in Australia.
The streaker jumped over the fence and on to the pitch in front of jeering fans during a match between United and Hummocks Watchman Eagles at Virginia Oval, north of Adelaide.
Witnesses told Adelaide Now that he did a "funny jump" on the pitch, landed heavily on his head and knocked himself out cold.
St John Ambulance volunteers at the ground attended to him and several minutes later he was carried from the oval, still naked, on a stretcher. He reportedly recovered soon after.
A 33-year-old US woman posed as her 15-year-old daughter to enrol at school because she wanted to be a cheerleader.
Wendy Brown's police mugshot /PA Wendy Brown, of Green Bay, Wisconsin, has been charged with identity theft after used her daughter's ID to become a student at the school.
She attended cheerleading practices and a party at the cheerleading coach's house. She was given a cheerleader locker and paid for her uniform with a check that later bounced.
Officials said the woman stopped attending school after the first day, prompting a truancy investigation that led to the discovery of the woman's true identity.
Teachers said the student appeared older but had a teenage-like demeanour.
"In school you see a lot of children who look older and dress older," said Don Penza, liaison officer. "At what point do you say, 'You're lying.'"
The woman told police she wanted to get her high school diploma and become a cheerleader because she had no childhood.
"We find it not funny at all," said Lt. Jody Crocker of the Ashwaubenon Public Safety Department.
Wearing protective bandages on his elbows and knees, Indian mystic Lotan Baba rolled along the streets of London for three miles in 1993 as part of his campaign for world peace.
The Acolotl Salamander from Mexico is the Peter Pan of the amphibian world - it never grows up. As long as it remains in water (which can be for its entire life), it retains its larval tadpole-like shape. It can even breed in this form. But i forced to live on land, it can adopt the adult form of a salamander with lungs in place of gills.
Dear Tech Support,
I need your computer advice as a friend is having trouble with his system.
Last year he upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from Drinking Mates 4.2 which he'd used for years without trouble.
However, apparently there are conflicts between these two systems, the only solution was to try and run Girlfriend with the sound turned off, but to make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several other applications, such as; Lads Night Out 3.1,Golf 2 and Playboy 6.0.
Successive versions of Girlfriend proved no better, Girlfriend 3.0 has many Bugs and left a virus in his system, forcing him to shut down completely for several weeks.
Eventually he tried installing Girlfriend 2.1 as well as Girlfriend 1.0 only to discover when these two systems detected each other they caused severe damage to all his hardware.
Sensing a way out, he upgraded to Fiancee. 1.0 only to discover to his dismay that this system requires rapid upgrading to Wife 1.0. However, whilst Wife 1.0 uses up all available resources it does come bundled with FreeSexPlus and Cleanhouse 2000. But imagine my friends disappointment on discovering that not only can Wife 1.0 be unstable and costly to maintain, but also that any mistakes he makes are automatically stored in Wife 1.0 Hardrive and can not be deleted. They then re-surface months later .
Wife 1.0 also has an automatic InterDiary Explorer and E-mail Porn Filter, and automatically runs UltraSTROP and WINGE.zip. No option on the Help menu seems to work, leaving him to try and guess the fault himself.
The system footprint needs updating regularly requiring Shoeshop browserPro for new attachments - Hairstyle express needs to be reinstalled every week.
It also refused some of the new Games and attachments he wanted to try, stating they are an Illegal operation. When Wife 1.0 attaches itself to Car 1.0 it often crashes or runs the system dry. Wife 1.0 also has a rather annoying pop-up called Mother-in-Law, which can't be turned off.
Recently he's been tempted to try Mistress Millennium add-on, but we have heard there could be problems. If wife 1.0 detects the presence of mistress 2000, it will delete all MS Money files before un-installing itself.
Is this a common problem?

What can I say...
A mugger in Italy got more than he bargained for when he tried to rob a national karate champion.
Four times Italian women's champion Lara Liotta, 29, was in central Rome when the man approached her and asked her for a cigarette.
When she told him she did not smoke he allegedly lunged for her and grabbed her around the neck, reports the Daily Telegraph.
Miss Liotta, who works as prison officer, immediately put her black belt training to good use, delivering two swift jabs to the man's face which sent him crashing to the ground.
"No one helped me or stopped, even though there are lots of people around at that time of the day," she told an Italian newspaper.
After punching the man to the floor, she ran to the nearby railway station of Termini and alerted police, who caught him before he could run away. He was arrested and detained on charges of assault.
A dog nicknamed Scooby has become the first animal in the world to appear as a witness in a murder trial.
The animal is believed to have been with his 59-year-old owner when she was found hanging from the ceiling of her Paris flat.
Police believe it was suicide but her family demanded a murder investigation, reports the Daily Telegraph.
During a preliminary hearing the pet was led into the witness box by a vet to see how it reacted to a suspect. It is said to have "barked furiously".
The aim was to decide if there was sufficient evidence to launch a full murder inquiry and a judge is yet to reach a decision.
French judge Thomas Cassuto praising the animal for his "exemplary behaviour and invaluable assistance".
A spokesman for the Palais de Justice in Paris confirmed that the Nanterre case was the first time a dog had appeared as a witness in criminal proceedings in France.
He said he was "almost certain" it was also a world first. The dog was nicknamed after crime-fighting cartoon character Scooby Doo.
A US man who loves Big Macs has eaten 23,000 in 36 years and has kept every receipt to prove it.
Don Gorske said he hit the 23,000 milestone last month, continuing a culinary obsession that began in May, 1972, reports Metro.
"I enjoy them every day," said Mr Gorske, 54, from Wisconsin. "I need two to fill me up."
He used to order fries every day in the 1980s but began to cut back in the '90s, now eating them about once a month.
"Sometimes people call me a freak but it doesn't bother me. I just say respect people as they are. I just want to make sure people understand I'm not going to change."
He can instantly recall the eight days in which he failed to satisfy his craving.
Including the day his mother died, to respect a request she made and during a 1982 snowstorm that prevented a local McDonald's franchise from opening.
"That's when I started a habit where I kept them in the freezer," he said. He keeps one or two burgers on hand but increases his inventory to four to five during the winter.
Despite his diety, Mr Gorske says he keeps himself in good shape. He says he's 6ft 2ins tall, weighs 13 stone, and walks as many as 10 miles a day.
In the Middle Ages, people believed that a vegetable could scream. It was though that if a person dug up a mandrake - a poisonous relative of the potato - it would scream, and that the person responsible would die shortly afterwards.
Whereas most bats prefer insects, the bulldog bat from Central and Southern America is an accomplished fisherman. It trails its extra-long legs in the water and grabs fish with its huge hooked claws.
As astonishing as Usain Bolt's record-breaking 100-meter sprint was, his time of 9.69 seconds is nowhere near what biostatisticians predict is the natural limit for the human body. But because he broke the mathematical model that had fit 100-meter record data for almost a century, Bolt's incredible performance could reset how fast researchers believe humans ultimately can run.
