Marvin the Martian

This anecdote comes from a librarian at another branch and just goes to show you that sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction...

On Tuesday night, a patron approached the reference desk with a question.

"I've been hearing that white whales and aliens are responsible for the TUnamis [sic] that are killing all those people."

S., the librarian, steels herself for the big question.

"So, what I was wondering is....can you tell me which planet the aliens are from that are causing the TUnamis [sic]?"

I asked S. what she said.

"I said the only thing I could say. I...don't...know."

Ain't life grand?
