Time to tell the world some of the weird things you've seen in your life......... One that comes to mind was when I was in high school. I was waiting at the school bus stop and saw something rolling down the street towards me.....it was a donut! Weirdest thing I ever saw. The only explanation I could come up with was that it was windy, and the wind was aiding its rolling. But where that donut came from, I have no idea!

Well, I once saw an owl on fire sitting on a high wire. Does that count?

We were visiting family in Nova Scotia (Atlantic Canada) and we were out for a drive when we came across this whaling factory. Of course, this was back in the days when whaling was still being done, before it became clear that the whales were endangered. Thankfully, the whaling factory has been closed for many years now. Well they would bring the whales up onto the dock and essentially clean them and cut them up like you would a fish. But since the whales are so big (about the length of a bus), they weren’t just using knives but they were using axes as well (sounds bad but it was part of their way of life back then). The mess and the smell was quite horrific. We ended up throwing away our shoes after that – we never could get the smell out of them. This one tourist became very excited and ran over so that she could see better, slipped on the pavement and fell right inside the whale. Needless to say, she was quite the mess when they hauled her back out! Certainly a sight I’ll never forget.

Oh, just BLECH Vee and Jimmer. I saw someone's grandpa standing out in the middle of a hotel hallway wearing only his boxer shorts and black socks arguing with a hooker who was also wearing not much. Also there was a contortionist with the nudie Zoomanity Cirque de Soleil who stuck his lungs out at us. It was gross, but he was so pleased with himself it was kind of funny too. Ask Karuuna, she saw it too.

Maybe I'll regret asking but how does someone stick their lungs out?

I'm not sure how it technically works, Jimmer, but he appeared to move his ribcage up and back, then stuck the bottoms of his lungs out at us (wiggled them at us, too. YYEWWW!!)

I saw a naked guy showering in the rain. He had soap and washcloth. It was one of those moments that you had to turn around and say "Did I see what I think I saw?".

I was abducted by aliens one night. They performed all kinds of sordid experiments on me and warped me for life.

Yes I did. I was sixteen, just learning to drive. I lived out in the sticks and it was pouring down rain. I saw him, but at first I thought it was just a man in the rain, then i noticed he had no clothes on. He was there in all his glory just scrubbing away. I looked twice, just to be sure.

Zmom, Colossus wants to know what's weird about that? (I'm wondering whether it was really him you saw LOL).

Lol,well these are certainly interesting! Hmmm,I saw a baby kangaroo in a cloth pouch at a table in a restaurant. I was the waitress. The people showed me to him,he was so sweet. He was on his way to a zoo! Who,the rolling donut made me think of something I haven't thought of in years. In middle school,there was a bakery in the intersection across from the school. All the kids would go there after school. Every so often,some kids would hide behind parked cars and throw donuts at the passing cars. I guess we just didn't get enough snow for snowballs around there!

I grew up on a cotton farm but we had some chickens and always a dog or two and few cats. For awhile we had a black and white spotted little mutt named Shorty. He was still a pup. At the same time, one of our cats had had a litter of babies. I think the kittens were around 6-8 weeks old....still nursing but being weaned by their mother. One day (I must've been around 5-7 years old), I saw Shorty calmly lying on his side on the back porch looking at one of the kittens. What, you may ask, was so interesting about the dog watching the kitty? Well, that little kitty was nursing on Shorty's penis! And that little kitty was "really goin' to town" on it, too! Shorty just lay back and watched! I hollered at my mom to come see what was going on, asking her all kinds of questions, but was promptly shuffled back into the house with no explanation. That was the oddest thing I ever saw. I surely doubt I'll ever see canine/feline oral copulation again!

The weirdest thing I've seen was my parent's dog, Brutus, chasing his tail one day not long after we got him. He was about 4 months old at the time. It wasn't the fact that he was chasing his tail that was weird - it was the fact that when he caught it, he pulled himself out of the room.

Once, while riding my pony down the street (I was a bout 10) I saw a man leading, what appeared to be another horse, walking toward me. But, I noticed this "horse" was walking funny, not with the jarring of a horses steps, but more like the gate of a human, but it was so big, as I got closer to them, I saw what the man was leading down the road was a CAMEL! We said hello in passing, and "Nice Camel, and "Nice Pony" but not much more, then when I got home, no one believed me.
