Your typical "men in black" would show up daily and collect data from the machines, which led people to believe it was some kind of government experiment.
It's all rumor and speculation, and there is nothing resembling evidence in any way, shape or form...but as far as urban legends and conspiracy theories go, I've always found it cool.

MIBs must have taken in a lot of people with the initials POO and ASS during the 80s.
