 My Fellow Spooks:

Last night, my husband and I were watching Aqua Teen Hunger Force, one of the late-night adults-only cartoons on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim (hence the name) that we'd TiVo'ed the previous night. As a bump just before the show began, they showed a slide that looked like an eerie green oscilloscope from a computer-controlled shortwave radio screen, with "UVB-76" at the top. The chyron underneath read something like this (this is from memory, as my husband deleted it already, dammit):

 "UVB=76, a shortwave radio station nicknamed The Buzzer, has started broadcasting again in Russian. This may mean 1. Spy activity or 2. Nukes are getting ready to fly."

Then, in bigger type: "Be Very Afraid!"

Somebody working at Cartoon Network must be a Spook!

Thought you'd get a kick out of this, 

Mary Villano
