Ice Tea Mystery

Well, it's a pretty short story. About an hour ago, I got a 50cl bottle of Lipton Ice Tea (my favorite non-alcoholic drink) from my fridge because I was thirsty *duh*. I took a sip and put the bottle on the table next to my PC and checked NSG. When I wanted to drink some more Ice Tea a few minutes later the bottle had dissapeared...:eek:

Well, not too shocking untill it happened again ten minutes ago. The same procedure, I took some Ice Tea, drank and checked NSG again and again my Ice Tea dissapeared.

Pretty Freaky, huh? Well, that's not it...

1. I'm home alone...
2. It's half past ten...
3. and it's spooky weather...

:eek:

What should I do! Does anyone have the number of Ghostbusters?

did you drink it all or maybe left it near your computer?

and does this mean your willing to try weird things now like going commando and sleeping with "older" women (and how the hell can you like Ice tea I’ve yet to figure what it actually taste of)

Of course, it could be a tumour growing between the hemispheres of your brain that's playing up trouble with your short-term memory.

But get a piece of string and tie one end around the bottle of ice tea, and the other around your little finger. Then you'll definetely catch this sneaky ice tea thief.

And knock over the bottle when you forget that you've tied yourself to it...

There's a time distortion near your iced tea - some version of you in a parallel universe is stealing your tea.

Luckily bottles have lids on them. But I'd imagine it would get quite annoying as you tried to type. Maybe if you tied the string around your little toe instead that might work better.

I had something similar happen to me.

I was home alone late at night and felt like writing so I got a pen and some paper but before I started I had to use the restroom. I set the paper down on the floor next to my bed and the pen on top of it.

Well after using the restroom, I came back to my bedroom and the pen was gone! I looked everyone in the area but there was nowhere it could have rolled too.

SO I searched out another writing utensil in the house but couldnt find a single one. I gave up and went to bed.

When I woke up in the morning, the pen was right where I had set it in the first place.

So I suggest you go to sleep and look for those bottles when you wake up.

Reminds me of a sci-fi story I read years ago about a guy who comes to realize that there are some species of creatures that have adapted so well to living among humans that they look like household items, like paper clips and wire hangers. It turned out that the paper clips are the larval form, the hangers the pupae, and the adult form was a ten-speed bike. Trouble is, the bikes were intelligent, and didn't care for being found out ... It explained why sometimes you have tons of paper clips or hangers and other times, none at all.:p

The story is "Or All the Seas with Oysters" by Avram Davidson (thank you, Wiki!). I had it slightly wrong: "The idea in his story 'Or All the Seas with Oysters' (1958), is reputed to have become part of an 'urban legend' in the street culture of some children; namely, that bicycles arise from a life cycle that involves paper clips as pupae and coat hangers as larvae."
