Someone found some Apatosaurus bones and thought they had discovered a new dinosaur, which they named Brontosaurus
Also, a picture on the radio?

They cover golf on the radio, which is equally fucking pointless.
Also in the early days of radio there was a very famous ventriloquist act. His failings as a ventriloquist were cruelly exposed when he made the move into television, which begs the question why the radio studio audiences hadn't picked up on his lips moving in the first place, unless his mouth was obscured by on of those big radio microphones.

Have you ever seen footage of him?
He was incredibly shit. Audiences were more easily pleased in those days.

Yup, I was 5 or so, so I can't remember the details
except that I sent the picture in and they mentioned it. I assume they had asked for pictures to be sent in.

Actually looking it up this must have been when I was even younger, per-school, so I am even prouder.

Peaking that early isn't something you should be proud of

At least I had a peak, hippy.
Also I've been in a notional news paper inna white coat, staring at a sound card and I shook handy with Gordon Brown, so there. but neither of those were when I was a kid. Oh and I gave directions to Richard O'Brian, so nyer.

I'd love to see that picture if the newspaper ever gets beyond the idea stage.
