Well, the STREET CAR card is there three times, so that you can make
out the complete phone number -- but punching it into the phone does
nothing. Incidentally, is that a real UK or Scotland phone number?

Anyway, I do have the impression that maybe some of the things that do
nothing will turn into Easter Eggs later, for new scrapbook items. 
The pen on the Extra Stuff page, the different candles, and the
bookmark on the Links page, for instance.  Perhaps those duplicated
items will be significant later, too. For these things to be there all
along will make them less obvious as Easter Eggs if they're activated
than they would be if they suddenly appeared when new Scrapbook items
are available.

On a separate note, it seems we are getting site updates in dribs and
drabs over a day or two -- think we might get the FaQ Poll answer
tomorrow? <crosses fingers>

P.S. There was never any news anywhere regarding the actual transcript
of the Mugglenet chat discussing Spongebob that JKR was on, was there?
 Very odd, though apparently the owner of the server posted (here or
on TLC) that he was having memory problems -- wouldn't that be a
kicker if the transcript was accidentally lost forever? :-/
