Just remember to hang up the phone before you head over there to confirm your story with her parents. It might seem slightly suspicious if it’s still attached to the computer.
Heh, back in college, I had a friend who hacked into the UMass computer system (which, like idiots, the state had as the main server for EVERY state college). He claimed he found a key code that would crash the mainframe, and rather foolishly, I scoffed and said no way. He promptly punched a few keys, and all around the terminal room, students started cursing and banging impotently at their keyboards …

Scary, but true. Someday someone will hack into the power grid and take it down.
