[quote name='Maklershed']The thought of contacting a radio station for information has never occurred to me. That's more antiquated than reading a newspaper!
I wonder if the people that do that use a wall mounted rotary phone.[/QUOTE]
I've wondered the exact same thing.
And people do legit call and ask any-and-everything.
My favorite is this ancient woman who calls every year, and asks me about Mars. (I think it's Mars - whichever planet is visible this time of year.)
She'll call, absolutely terrified, asking me if it's a stealth bomber.
Ancient Woman: I called my son, and he said it might be a stealth bomber..! Is it a stealth bomber..!?
Me: ... Stealth bombers are called 'stealth bombers' because they're stealth - meaning that you cannot see them.
Ancient Woman: Is it a UFO, then..!?
And then when I explain to her that it's a planet, she acts like it's the most far-out bullshit she's ever heard, being able to see a planet from Earth... even though she just asked me if it was a UFO.
