The wife of a prisoner in Spain sent fake but official-looking faxes to the jails in which her husband was being held. Both times, he was released:
In December, he was in a cell at Arganda del Rey courthouse awaiting trial when officers got a fax purportedly from a regional court. It was followed by a phone call purportedly from a court official, corroborating the release order.
Officers tried to verify the order, but their calls went unanswered. When a second call was received confirming Serna’s release, he was freed to a waiting taxi.
Police said Serna used the same trick to escape from Valdemoro jail in October.

Dorothy Miller, an 87-year-old grandmother, uses Twitter every day to keep in touch with her family, but she uses no computer. Instead, she uses a fax machine and a service called Cellery that posts the messages to her Twitter page.
I don’t usually write to my daugher that much because she talks to much. And that she takes up too much of our time, but she can read my twitterings here and she can see what her mother’s doing and know that her mother’s okay …
Go grandma, go … or better yet, tweet, grandma, tweet!
