What was the weirdest thing you actually saw with your own 2 eyes
this past year?



Because we were too late to take the cat's bowl off the back porch, we actually saw a possum take a bite out of a skunk's butt as they fought over the cat food!

NOT ONCE BUT SEVERAL TIMES!

14. I'm in a parking lot, and I see a man walk up to his truck.
The cab of the truck is pretty high up, and the driver's side window is open.

Instead of opening the door, the man jumps through the window and does a twisting somersault inside the cab, ending up in the normal position behind the wheel.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

19. A naked..somewhat "thick" woman walking naked down the street.
I couldn't believe it. It wasn't the first time either. I also saw a topless young lady walkind down the street downtown,she had her fair share of escorts.

It's legal to be naked in Denver. As long as you don't touch yourself or have an erection for males,you can be naked all day long and no one can do anything.

This started with the gay boys wanting to tan in the gay park. A couple of them made a big stink about it and no one challenged them, so it's now legal to be naked in Denver proper.

47. I was 12 at the time. me and my friends were playing in a field adjacent to his house..
Five of us saw it...August 1967...we ranged in age from 11 to 13. I was 12. I have no history of hallucinations or mental illness(that I'm aware of...hahaha). I never saw anything else in my life that I would consider strange.

36. A woman walking naked down the street
in Manhattan. She came out of a building, walked about a block, and then went into a townhouse. She had a blank expression and a nice body. It actually didn't cause too much of a stir.

39. Two guys hitting each other with badminton rackets.
One of them rear-ended the other one in a parking lot. They both jumped out and started shouting at each other. Then one grabbed a badminton racket out of the trunk of his car and started hitting the other guy with. He started hitting back and then about thirty seconds later, they each got back in their cars and drove away.

:shrug:

41. it involved LaRouchies, a tank, a flatbed truck, and a raging snow storm
Downtown Manch Vegas, right before the 1988 presidential primary. The WWII vintage tank was on the back of the flatbed, which was stuck on a snow-covered slope right in front of the law office where we were taking Sen. Paul Simon to make radio calls that afternoon (a trip up to Laconia had to be scrubbed).

How those nutballs got their hands on a tank of any sort is a mystery that defies any rational explanation.

42. A million people standing for hours in horribly cold weather on the Capitol Mall.
all jammed up next to each waiting to hear some guy speak really far away up at the Capitol itself or closer on a giant Jumbotron when they could have seen much better at home in a warm TV room.

All these patient, very cold people being civil despite a very long uninformed wait, smack up against total strangers, after waiting in very long lines to get to this position.

Some might consider it kind of obscene, which is why I'm linking it, rather than putting up the photo outright:

49. Well more like fascinating.
Years ago (1985), was at a little Florida beach town motel, swimming in the pool at 3am. A shooting star went all the way across the sky, and left a long trail of glitter that stayed in the sky for several seconds. About half way across, it broke into two equal parts. One part went straight out to the horizon, and the other part did a corkscrew shaped spiral and looked like it landed on the ocean.

Have seen many, many shooting stars before and since. But nothing like that event. Just happened to be looking at the right spot and moment. The speed was amazing. Took maybe 3 or 4 seconds to cover the whole sky.
