Sometimes you just need to be held. Everyone has felt a dreariness only curable through the touch of another affectionate human being. The Anonymous Hugging Wall, designed by Keetra Dean Dixon as part of the Methods & Apparati for Social Facilitation and Mood Elevation project, allows anyone who passes some free love.

I could always use a good hug. It helps remind me that I’m not alone.

Face it: we were all teenagers once (and some of us still are I’m sure!) Remember how you used to dial *67 to block your number on Caller ID and then call up a pizza place asking if you could get a large pizza with a side of “dis dick,” knowing full well you were protected from Luigi and his dough-kneading crew of thugs. Those were the times but as Dylan says, the times, they are a’changin’.

It’s 2009 and Luigi can get himself a Trapcall account for $9.95 a month. It works for AT&T and T-Mobile (read: GSM) subscribers and uses some proprietary nonsense to reveal who the anonymous caller is. Have a crazy ex-boyfriend or girlfriend? Overprotective parents? The STD Clinic desperately trying to reach you? Yeah, I’d say Trapcall is right for you.
