With my iBook running on adapter power, if I close the lid just enough to turn the screen off without latching it, I get a brief broadcast of a local radio signal through the headphones output before the iBook goes to sleep.

Now if only I could tune in some talk radio.....

That's a bit weird!

My sister's old guitar amp used to receive a Russian radio transmission when it was in a certain place.

And my Aunt has an egg timer that channels the spirits of dead cats in the last 11 seconds before it goes ping.

Okay that last one was made up. ;-)
