I'm doing a work placement at a regional newspaper, and today went into the clippings library to get some research on a local character I had to write a story on.
The guy in the library had never heard of this fella, but found his clippings file, pulled out one of the clippings to check it was the right guy, and gave me the envelope with the clippings in.
When I went back to the library later in the day, it turned out the next thing he looked up on the microfilm (on a completely different subject) was on exactly the same page as the clipping he pulled out of the envelope! And this was a page going back to 1993.
Spooky, eh?
