Q

Hundreds of people received calls from an animal hospital in Hawaii thanks to a blank.

A

A tiny gecko stepping on a phone’s touch screen.

According to the hospital’s director, she was worried there was some kind of emergency when she got nine calls in a row from her work number with just silence on the other end. The calls were actually being made by a gecko, whose tiny, little feet were dialing up everyone on the phone’s recently called list. While some people complained, most were actually really thankful for the gecko’s call, which helped them save 15 percent or more on their car insurance.
