This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Why different emergency number for popo?
Having only one emergency number isn't the standard everywhere in the world. In my childhood here in Austria I learned that the fire department is 122, the police is 133, ambulance is 144; these numbers still work AFAIK, but nowadays the government's recommendation is to dial 112 (the EU-wide emergency number) no matter what you need.
