In recent days I've witnessed The Red Sox impossibly winning the pennant.

News that Hooters is opening in China.

Elvis Costello drop kick a flight-suited Bush doll into the audience on live TV. (this one gave me hope)

Everything just seems so weird.

Feel free to add to my list.

First Hooters Restaurant Opens In Conservative China

SHANGHAI, China -- It could be an eye-opening experience as the Hooters restaurant chain opens its first outlet amid the conservative, almost prudish society of China.

Hooters, which has a racy reputation for its combination of cold beer, chicken wings and scantily-clad waitresses, has opened a branch in Shanghai.

The company calls its image "delightfully tacky, yet unrefined."

The opening underscores how much both Shanghai and China have changed.

The city is the commercial hub of China's economy, the fastest-growing in the world. And decades of official prudishness are giving way, especially in Shanghai. It has hundreds of hostess bars and massage parlors. Hooters' presence underscores how China's economic vitality is challenging conservative, male-dominated views about sexuality and prudish communist morality.

10. You, know? I've had the same sneaking suspicion...

this is possible.

Then dogs and cats living together...rain of frogs...weirdness of biblical proportion.

But, optimism on the horizon.

11. I got jury duty once but I managed to flee abroad to avoid it

My mom received the notice in the mail a day after I left the country to start college. Lets just say we had an interesting time getting it deferred.
