Yankee4Life Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I had an idea for this thread because of something that I saw the other day and whomever I've told about this since then either has flat out not believed me or have laughed like crazy. As I said, a few days ago I was in one of the local supermarkets getting a few things. It was freezing that day so I just finished a nice, hot 24 ounce coffee. As is the rule of nature, what goes in must come out, so when I was in the supermarket, I had to go to the rest room there to take care of business. Ok, so I did what I had to do and I am washing my hands and I am almost ready to leave and this old guy comes in with his shopping cart full of stuff. "What's he doing with that in here?" I am thinking to myself. But wait, it gets better. Now try and picture this in your mind. The guy goes into the handicapped stall (as you know those are a bit bigger than a regular one) and he brings his shopping cart in there with him! Just when you think you've seen it all, you find out you haven't. One odd thing that I did see happened many years ago and it happened on my birthday. I was coming home from work and a very small dog ran out into the street in front of me. Somehow this little dog ran under the car ahead of me and actually did a somersault and ran out the other side and to the other side of the road. He was not hit, not scratched, nothing! Here I was holding my breath expecting the worst and I saw this little miracle right before me. That made my day and I never forgot it. Now I am sure you guys can top this but if you want, post any of the strangest or oddest things you've ever encountered. Post as many as you can remember.

NYM Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I saw a pigeon get run over by a car. It was funny actually. The car was coming the other way, I was stopped and the other car was going around 10 MPH. For some reason I was looking that way and you just saw the pigeon sit there. It didn't move and BOOM! Feathers were everywhere. I can't think of anymore right now but I'm sure I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorQuiz Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Well... I don't know if it's the strangest thing I've ever seen buy NYM's unfortunate story reminded me of a similar one... ...I was driving on the hwy, approx 60 to 70 mph, and a few deer ran across the road well ahead of me. I saw them, and I began to slow down, to make sure I didn't have a deer-related-impact. Well... as the group of deer crossed the grass median, I noticed a rather large semi-tractor-trailer travelling the other direction, on the other side of the hwy. I can only assume he was doing approx 60 to 70 mph as well. I'm sure most of you can see what is coming... but the last deer in the group certainly did not. It was almost unbelievable - square on impact - a several-hundred pound animal turned to chunky soup and mist right before my eyes. It was so shocking at the time I don't think I had much of a reaction... ...but now? I wonder how the trucker ended up reacting, and what (if any) major damage the vehicle suffered. As for the deer - I assure you - it had NO time to suffer whatsoever. It was amazing to me, b/c I didn't think that a large animal like that could almost completely "vaporize"... but it did. A lesson in "momentum" and "transfered energy" for the kids out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Y4L, 10 bucks says he was shoplifting. That's one of the many, many tricks used here. Easy to explain your way out of. NYM, you never cease to amaze me. I can't even call it stupidity. Strangest thing I've ever seen...well, I have many, most of which would be covered by the phrase "Cocaine is a hell of a drug". Non-substance related, however, I remember seeing a guy, he had to be a flyweight, he was around 5'4" and was utterly ripped, at my local gym, literally headbutting the living crap out of a heavy bag. Not punching it, headbutting it. I was working pads with a friend, and was just watching this guy over my shoulder for a solid 10 minutes. The scary part was that he was making more of a dent in the bag with his head alone than I've seen a lot of heavyweights make with their hands, and no-one was even holding it. Just bang, bang, bang. 5 minutes later, when we were heading out for a run, we passed him and I made a point to say what's up - he turned around, friendly smile on his face, and said "Hey Mark" as if he was just doing the groceries. Absolutely crazy. Good guy, though. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I've seen the aftermath of a trailer fire where a Bible burned completely through to the page with John 3:16, which was in pristine condition. I've seen the wrecked damage of a car that had a deer go through the windshield, its sharp antlers coming only inches from skewering a baby in a carseat. I've seen a cucumber shaped like a donkey. I've seen the remains of a Range Rover peeled off after it struck the back of a semi-truck that was jacked up and waiting on new tires beside the interstate. The car struck at 92 mph. No skidmarks. The 16-year-old driver told police he was receiving oral pleasure from his 15-year-old girlfriend, who was decapitated by the steering wheel (luckily I didn't see that).

apridham Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I don't know if all you guys know what a seagull is, but you should see one of them when you hit it at 60 mph... I did it, and it was like hitting a feather pillow. I looked in the mirror and thought it was snowing, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeRudi26 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 A friend of mine called me a couple of summers ago on his birthday, and asked me if I wanted to go with him to his 12 year old son's Little League game. I agreed, went to the game, and in the first inning when his son came to bat, he walked over to the third base side fence where we were sitting, and said to my friend (his dad), Happy Birthday dad, this one's for you. He walked up to the plate, brazenly called his shot to center, and drove it exactly where he said he was going to. The most unbelievable thing I think I've ever seen.

tebjr Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 One day I was driving home from work, and out of nowhere, a buzzard swooped down and hit my windshield. I was doing about 70. Scared the crap out of me. All I saw was the bird doing a half-gainer into the ditch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYM Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 That's amazing to call a shot. Anyway, two years ago me and my friends decided to take BP in a school yard. It was LL infield but the fence went to about 300. The fence was a symmetrical wall about 20 feet high. Halfway up were about 5 basketball hoops. I was on the side watching when my friend hit a shot to dead center. It went right off the backboard and into the hoop. It was a shot you can try and repeat a million times and never have happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching the ball head out toward center field and mumbling quietly *you have got to be *&^%ing kidding me*.. To top it off, he seemed more surprised than anyone else. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HFLR Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I was walking waiting to cross the street when suddenly a car lost one tire and the tire was rolling and passed near myself I was laughing so hard the car driver was like WTF? When the car lost the tire the metal thing that is supossed to hold the tire (I don't know the name of that thing) was throwing sparks due to the friction between it and the street lol...

seanzarelli Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 These are by far the strangest posts I have seen on this site. if bary bonds didn't dew stair roids, mark mcwire wouldn't haf cried on capital hill. also if bary bonds didn't dew stair roids then jose cansakeo would have not told peeple he did stair roids and jose cansakeo wouldn't have said that other peeple took them. bary bonds will be ruining basebol if he breaks aron's rekord and babe ruthe's rekord. bary bonds is a dissgrace to basebol and bary bonds is a cheeter. not only in basebol, but in marage two. come here two make joke about stuf like bary bonds dewing stair roids of coarse. i want to liten up stuf here so no one has to be serios all the time. i wuld like two make more jokes. i haf won called "wat if triple h plaid basebol" that i wuld like two post. if triple h plaid basebol, he wuld probable be on the red sox. he wuld be on the red sox becaus he is from coneticut in the greenwitch area, and that is closer two boston insted of new york. but if triple h plaid basebol, triple h would be ejectid from every game. he would be ejectid becaus he would get mad easy. if he got a hit but was an out he wuld clothsline the first baseman. and if he got hit by a pitch, triple h wuld charge the mound and wuld give the pitcher a pedigree on the mound and make him bleed. so if triple h plaid basebol, it wuldnt be good. triple h also wuldnt be the game anymore. As far as seeing something strange or odd in real life, I would have to say the time I was sitting in my friends room playing MVP 2004 on PS2. My friend had found a box of old baseball cards from like 89, and one of them had a rubber-band stuck to it, so I started to sling the rubber-band back and forth to try and get the card to fly off. Well...the card did fly off, and right into the tape slot on his radio sitting about 5 feet in front of me. I mean, the card stuck in it perfectly.

UncleMo Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 1. http://www.eamods.com/ForumsPro/viewtopic/...4/start=28.html 2. Same story with the pigeon. Only I was looking right at it and then it was dead in a split second. 10mph, now you see it, now you don't. Dead as fast as you can blink, and I was the only one that saw it. Shocking. Not funny.

cren4o Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 High school gym class, softball game -- choose two teams, last guys picked are, of course, picked last because they cannot play at all. The "retarded" kid is tall with a "sleepy eye", and nobody has heard him speak more than 3 words in that past 4 years. The spazzes and nerds are put in right field and near other outfielders who can tell them to get out of the way if the ball is hit near them. The retarded kid is put so far out in left field that we figure he will never even see the ball. Wouldn't you know, the last inning of the game we are protecting a 2-run lead, there is one out with two on base and their slugger hits a mammoth shot to left field. The good left fielder has absolutely no chance of reaching it, let alone catching it, but that one guy standing out there looking completely oblivious to the whole thing is just squinting with his usual half-smile. Our team starts screaming his name, probably more because we don't want him to get hit in the head than trying to tell him to catch the ball. At the last second, he raises his hand over his hand and barehands that softball for the out. Complete, dumbfounded silence on the field for about three seconds, and then both sides start screaming and yelling. He tosses the ball to the good left fielder, who then fires the ball to second base -- doubling up the guy who had already run home -- and we win the game. It's been a long time since, but I never get tired of that story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerBs Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I have a couple. I was driving down 59 in Houston one day, with both windows of my truck rolled down, and a bird flew in one window and out the other. That was pretty strange. I saw a man jumping in and out of traffic one day. He was attempting to commit suicide, only he sucked at it. But the strangest thing I have ever seen is the Thousand-yard Stare. It's scary to see a friend in that kind of shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triberocks4 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I consider anything in NFL Blitz 2001 for N64 to be the strangest thing I've ever seen. But in all seriousness, I was riding in my friend's car a few years ago on a 3-lane road doing about 35 MPH, and we zoomed past a guy riding one of those little tykes plastic tricycles into oncoming traffic. He must have been doing about 5 MPH, and cars were swerving to avoid him. Somehow, after going up the road for about 50 yards and narrowly avoiding death about 23 times, he ended up making it to the other side of the street. He must have had one hell of a guardian angel.
