Thanks to all on LIBREF-L and Project Wombat who shared their stories
of odd, unusual, or memorable questions they'd gotten.  We all here in
Ashtabula, Ohio got a lot of chuckles (and chills, in a few cases).

The local paper (the Ashtabula Star Beacon) ran an article about our
reference department and a sidebar including some of the stories you
shared with us.  Here are links to the online versions of the
articles:

Thanks again to all who responded (over 150 responses from all over
the world, many with multiple stories!)
