On the Dr. Demento radio program this week, he mentioned that he had
to change the 900 number he had just instituted.  (Previously, you had
to call a regular number at your expense to make requests, etc.  Now,
you still call at your expense, but I guess it could be cheaper
depending when and from where you call.)

Anyway, he said that for some reason, certain areas were not able to
get through to his number, 1-900-BANANAS.  This translates to
1-900-226-2627.  Why should this be a problem?

At any rate, the new number is 1-900-773-7333.  (I forget what the cost
was.)
