What's the weirdest thing you've ever seen?

A few months ago I saw something that was quite weird and it has impacted my life like nothing else has. I was walking around the neighborhood and I saw this really fat guy sitting in his car in 90 degree heat eating a loaf of bread.

He wasn't making a sandwich, he wasn't dipping the slices of bread into any sauce, he was eating an entire loaf. Now I'm not one to judge people based on their appearance, but the man was already big enough. Come on, he doesn't need to be eating an entire loaf of bread. That's a crime against humanity in itself. Why not a big bag of Doritos? Why not even crackers?

Sometimes I question the sanity of human beings, but then again there's a chance he was an ex-convict fresh out of prison and wanted to enjoy the orgasm inducing experience that is the taste of bread.

What unusual sight have you seen that compares to this?

I know all you straight people are going to say "wtf" at this, but I have to be honest: the vagina is the strangest and must disgusting thing I've ever set eyes on. Seriously. It's hideous. It makes me want to gag and vomit all over myself, just thinking about it. It's a gaping maw of horrible construction. It's perhaps the greatest evidence that there is no intelligent designer - no designer with any sense of asthetics would create something so disgustingly disgusting. Urgh.

True enough. I think a lot of straight people would probably agree with you, till they get a bit frisky, anyway. Though, the other half of that squishy jigsaw puzzle isn't exactly a sight for sore eyes either...

I stopped cataloging weird a long ass time ago. The 'hey look at me' bar is so high here that a dude in a Spiderman suit climbing lamp posts couldn't even attract the tourist's attention.

You mean it looks like a wallet someone left out in the rain?

Or a hatchet wound?



To me, it looks like a rose with soft,velvety petals,slowly opening as it warms.
Or a delicious, juicy roast beef sandwich. MMmmm...meaty

This isn't something I've seen, but there's this mentally disturbed guy who lives in Trenton. He spends most of his days smoking Salem cigarettes, staring into the sky as he paces back and forth on the sidewalk and having conversations, sometimes arguments with an unseen being.

Once I went into the local Irish bar and he was sitting there drinking. Since I had nothing better to do I sat with him and had a drunken conversation with a crazy dude. He told me that he used to be a scientist of some sort, that his brain had been experimented on, and that he used to hang out with Joan Bayez and Bob Dylan in the sixties, sold them acid and tripped with them among other things.

Well… my 3 year old brother and I can go through an entire French loaf during a long car journey… not sure that counts. He eats like there's no tomorrow… maybe he can tell you more when he visits the forums in a decade or so.

Mindset, I disagree… the male genitals are far more alien and repellent. The female ones can't be THAT weird…

That's French bread though, it's a bit more acceptable to eat that in large amounts rather than an entire thing of Wonder Bread.

Male genitalia (and most of the male body, for that matter) are a prime example of form following function. In some cases, a purely functional design can have a simple and beautiful elegance. In other cases (such as this one), what you get looks like a hack job - it works, but not many people would call it pretty. (Mind you, my wife might disagree. :D)

Female genitals have the advantage of being mostly out of view, hidden inside a classically curved and artistically elegant form.

My dad naked. No, seriously. I was talking to my, at the time, boyfriend over the phone for the first time and I looked down the hall towards my parents' bedroom and my dad was holding a pair of black pj shorts over his waist parts, everthing else about him was pure skin. Lucky me, his back wasn't to me:p

I can actually talk about this freely now since it was almost seven months ago now.

That would be the men's toilet at a bar called Hell in Shinjuku, Tokyo. First imagine a 6 armed Buddha statue, now imagine that statue dressed like he just escaped from one of Nevada’s cat houses. Now think of this gaudily dressed figure holding a giant female mouth (Think the Rocky Horror Picture Show) in two hands, and that said mouth is where you’re supposed to be about your business. Got all that? Good, now please think of standing there using the whole badly made nightmare as a receptacle for your used drinks when the damn thing starts singing... and moving. Yes, the Buddha breaks into some Japanese song, the head twirls, eyes wink at you, the mouth starts being moved in random directions and a bright flash has you looking up to see that one of Buddha’s hands is holding a camera aimed at your nether regions (No, not a real camera, I checked, but damned if at first glance it doesn’t look the part).

Not THE wierdest, but

an acquaintance of mine and I were recently at a kid's birthday pool party.

We're getting in the pool to play basketball with our kids-he takes his shirt off and exposes a thick, dark patch of hair on his back, just over one shoulder blade. As if someone spread fertilizer in just that one spot. He is very pale and the hair is very dark.

*LOL* Actually... a number DID. While I was in there, a number of men walked right in, took one look, and left quickly.

And from the mess on the floor, I would assume that many drunk Japanese men had problems with following the mouth.

Standard Japanese toilet, kinda looks like a urinal (a regular one) set on its back into the floor.

Thats a little bit of a let down, huh? I figured, you go into a stall and a mechanical Sumo wrestler gets you in a bear hug and squeezes it out of you.
Then a geisha girl tidies you up with a warm, moist towel...

No, no, they had enough fun with the urinal in that bar. Now, an India bar I went to in Matsumoto had an educational section with a giant wall mural depicting every sexual position, with commentary, and directions to the local love hotels next to the dump station.

Now, come to think of it 'cause I'm headed to the Doctor's to get a thyroid gland sonography:

I've seen a lot of operations at a hospital while being trained as a paramedic:

Thyroid gland surgery: They peel off half of your face and fold it upwards. Pretty weird.

New hip joint: Next to the usual surgical instruments they had your average hammer and a Black&Decker power drill... And they used it, too!!!

Hand surgery: Something to do with an unwanted deposit around your sinews in the hand - they peel away the skin and you can see the inner hand with tendons and bones and muscles. Pretty cool!

As a paramedic, we were once called to a frontal car crash - when I got out of the ambulance, there were two of those little car signs (from the hood/grill) sitting side by side in the gutter: Ford & Volkswagen... VW "won".
And that day I got to fly passenger with a rescue helicopter :D:D:D Yay!
