I just got a phone call. I picked up and the woman on the other end started talking about some sort of problem, but I was a little groggy and asked her to repeat herself.

"Do you think that there's anyone who can solve all the problems?" she asked.

"Problems? Which problems?"

"You know, all the problems in the world today…"

"I don't understand–could you list the particular problems you're talking about?"

"Um…there's war, you know there's war. And…and the children are being killed,"

"The children? Wait a minute–which children?"

"Uh, do you read the news or watch the news on TV?"

"No."

"Well, do you…"

"This is all very upsetting, hold on, just a minute."

Then I put the phone down and went to the bathroom. When I got back, I started dialling random phone numbers while she was still on the line. Then I put the phone down again and checked my e-mail. When I picked up the phone, she was gone.

So I *69'ed her, and got a number: 718-797-1520. Information wouldn't tell me who they were, only that they were in Downtown Brooklyn. When I called them, they told me it was the Jehovah's Witnesses Kingdom Hall, and that they couldn't get into my building, so they were calling their neighbors. I don't know how they got my number, it's unlisted.
