Actually, in the day, it was pretty tame... movie of the day blurb, quote, trivia question, birthdays.
Probably my most memorable story comes from later, when I was building up and managing the photo collection. When we started cropping movie stills and event photos to provide thumbnails on the filmographies of popular stars, we created a default "No headshot available" graphic that automatically got put in that space for the filmographies of people who didn't have one yet. Then someone pointed out how that graphic looked on John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln's pages.
I'll give you a moment for that to sink in. It's like the worst unintentional groaner pun of my career.
