Adventures in the city … or … How I saved the world

Yesterday, my Coworkers and I saved the world.
So, as we were walking down Dearborn on our way to Cosi, a random woman of some non-identifiable eastern European accent nabs my coworkers and I as we cross the street. This is not all that uncommon. What was uncommon was her question.
“I’m not from here. Do you know if Sears will sell a calculator?”
Now THAT is a truly random question, even for the city. “They might, but there is an Office Depot around the corner that most certainly will.” I pointed her in the right direction. Very exciting.
Why on earth was she looking to buy a calculator so desperately? Was she a spy with poor math skills who had lost her super-computer credit-card and needed a calculator to foil some dastardly plot by scientologists to take over the world?
That must be it.
