I once asked my mother how they made newspapers. She told me that a machine made them. I took this as that there was a machine that gathered all of the news and printed out papers.
I asked my mother this because I sincerely wanted to appear in the paper to be 'famous.' I proceeded then to draw a picture, and walk around saying that it was "the best picture I had ever drawn." I figured that this would be picked up by the news machine and that me and my brilliant artwork would appear as breaking news the next day.
