Strangest things you've seen recently

[Reed Spacer]

This topic is pretty much what it says on the tin.

To start with, I bring you The Fiddleninjas.

A busker is standing by a skytrain station, playing the aforementioned fiddle.

He's doing pretty damn good, so I decide to reward him with a dollar. As I move toward him, a group of people break out of the crowd, dressed as ninjas. They do an acrobatic routine and then vanish back into the crowd.

The busker considers this for thirty seconds or so and then goes back to playing his fiddle.

So what can you bring to the table?

Well...


I saw a Swedish man laughing at a goat levitating up a ladder yesterday. I'd seen it before, but it hadn't gotten any less funny since then. I was watching Bad Lad's Army - I can't remember the name of the particular series, but it was the involving parachute jump training - and the corporals were trying to teach raw recruits how to tuck in their limbs and roll after a landing. One guy jumped into the air is if from a springboard, doing a half-somersault and landing on his head before expelling a curse and rolling away into a crumpled heap. The corporal watching - a big Scottish bloke - just about started to say "Wot the fu-" before he bent over double and fell about laughing.

Seeing the Game Grumps play through Sonic Boom really does boggle the mind. The first 6 minutes or so of this video really illustrate what a clusterfuck that game is:


Real life sadly nothing weird really happens these days. Outside of some "what the fuck just happened?" plays in EDH/Commander Magic.

My tough as nails body building, motor bike riding, mohawk sporting little brother discovering an injured baby mynah (bird) and nursing it back to health, keeping it in his desk drawer at work and eventually making it his pet.

Sort of stuff that kind of restores my faith in humanity. A little bit.

I saw someone carrying their dog over-shoulder. It wasn't dead. It wasn't injured. Maybe it was just really lazy.

Right now, the dog is running laps around my street, the woods behind my house, and a river that runs through the woods. I've been watching it from my window; I can't see its owner. I'm a little creeped out, but whatever.

Once while I was incredibly stoned, I trekked out to a 24 hour petrol station to buy snacks and fizzy drinks. As I was coming back to my halls residence, I heard what I thought was two people having a very loud argument in the street. As I got closer, I saw it was a guy stumbling around yelling some seriously biblical shit. Properly archaic, vile sounding insults and name cursing.

I thought he was following me for a while, but I managed to get inside to where a halls-mate I've just started dating was. She asked me what he looked like, because he'd been at it for ages (must have started just after I headed out) and gave his description to the police.

Before that, I was outside having a cigarette when a guy in a campus security uniform came up to me. I don't live on campuses, but if shit's going on, they'll check out all their buildings across the city.

Anyway, he asks me if I've seen a bald man in a brown leather jacket. As I'm wearing a brown leather jacket, I feel my particularly thick hair and reply a bit sarcastically, before telling him I just came out a few minutes ago to smoke.

So I never saw who they were looking for, but I did see this guard do two more sweeps of the area before I headed inside.

Other than that, I've generally seen a lot of strange but interesting stuff since I started university, including, but not limited to...

My hallsmate plastic wrapped to a seat.

Another hallsmate stacking things on his head with an alarming level of success.

A very large quantity of cross dressing and streaking. Often one led to the other.

Someone's entire room turned literally upside down.

 

[Ten Foot Bunny]

I just saw this for the first time a couple of nights ago. So strange and darkly beautiful...

Well, for me, it was re-watching random episodes of LazyTown... Holy shit do you SERIOUSLY need to suspend your disbelief the older you get, in referenced to this show's target audience... At least the songs in the show are still good in their own right, in my opinion...

Other than that, there was this one black dude dance-walking all around my neighborhood, mouthing what I'm assuming was rock-and-roll music... <color=white>Oh wait... That was me yesterday...

Well, there's some guy at the forums yelling to all new and old gods that his favorite cartoon character IS NOT GAY.
