I worked at the zoo for a little bit. One of the runs I worked was the birds. I used to feed the frogmouths. They are cute.

I remember the TV show outer limits used to scare the crap out of me when I was little. Not the show itself but the opening where they show a static filled screen with horizonal lines and the voice says,
"There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat, there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits"
The thought that something...I thought it was aliens..was controlling my TV really freaked me out.
