Here's the original article...   http://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/274/48/ (http://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/274/48/)

I meant to put this up the other day but I forgot and you beat me to it.  [thumbsup]

That looks so amazingly easy to hack...  I could probably do it!   [laugh]    [evil]

[I like the "hang up and drive" message idea]

A while ago I saw one, in a roadside DOT storage area that read 'Hey Ladies'

i think this has potential for great fun

anything which refers to possible traffic situations should be avoided (i.e-- road ends)

this one on the other hand........
