strange facts about ourselves

[Pica Pica]

Rebis loves chickens, thinks they're better than people.

I left the coffin in a props cabinet where I was keeping it, then caught dysentery and then moved while still ill, there was not enough room for the coffin and that was a year and a half ago.

The robin thing is cool, i once saved a robin from my dog. Stupid robin that my dog was ever in a position to be a threat.

Squishing tomatoes was once my job.

I have been attacked by more different varieties of poultry than anyone I have ever heard of.

[RebeccaFog]

Thank you for not writing that you squished poultry and was attacked by tomatoes.

Well, this isnt exactly my part of the forums but I couldnt resist LoL...  I have a bunch of them...

1: Ive been dead atleast twice...  Once in my sleep and once I was killed in the hospital.

2: I have no fear of death, only perminant personal injury...

3: I have a threshold for pain far higher than anyone Ive ever met or heard of...

4: Ive broken multiple ribs... and shattered both wrists multiple times... but never had them treated... <no insurance>

5: Ive only been to the hospital twice in my life...  When I was born, and when my friends drug me there against my will <and look what they did, they killed me LoL>

6: I have SEVERE arachniphobia... Ive stripped totaly thinking there was a spider in my clothes and Ive cleared a 12 ft wall to get away from one... Sence HRT I now totaly freeze and start crying...

7: Ive fallen off multiple buildings ranging from 1-3 stories... and survived relitively unhurt... <Maby thats why all my bones hurt now LoL>  but I fell off a 1ft step stool and knocked myself unconcious...

8: I desided I wanted to learn to play the drums when I found out the high school I was going to be atending had an all girl drum corps <I allready played the flute and the piano>... and I wanted to join <they wouldnt let me  >X(

9: I talk too damn much LoL...

Darn it, you didn't ask why anybody would pay me to squish tomatoes. The fun of having had this job is that people ask that, and I can reply by crowing triumphantly, "FOR SCIENCE!" Weirdly, people often accept that as perfectly sensible, and do not question the scientific value of a squashed tomato.

I was once attacked by a Whistling Swan, but the worst poultry to be attacked by is a peacock. I once inadvertantly produced a hilarious forum-post describing this, on a forum that censored itself for swearing and didn't render it 'pea****' but '*******.'

*******s can fly, you see, and when a ******* attacks you, it makes a dreadful noise and then springs up into the air and hits you in the head. This is horrible.

my first ever job was rubbing cow fat onto old books in an airtight vault with the door open.
i have never knowingly been paid to squish a tomato or poultry.

[RebeccaFog]

Hi Doc,

I just assumed that a tomato squishing job was a food factory thing.

That peacock story was funny.


Hi Lynne,

    You have scared me.  If we ever meet, I'll be looking over my shoulder for something terrible to happen any second.

had the fat been first removed from the cow?

[kestin]

I have no gag reflex, which for someone who's attracted to women or female-bodied persons... really has no use for me ^_^ A waste of talent which I might one day learn how to sword swallow :3

[buttercup]

I once worked at a strip-club....NOT as a stripper tho!    

[LynnER]

I can add to the scarry bad things happening strange facts LoL...

Ive seen a ghost, and she follows me... though I havnt seen her in the last few years. (I  know shes around though)

So far Ive counted 137 scars on my body... and Thats just my arms face and neck... most of them are small though from puncture wounds...  Oh and I survived a stabbing when I was in elementry school... (The knife was too short to do any serious damage where it pierced)

[Jaimey]

LynnER, I can honestly say I don't envy you at all...

I once fell OUT of an attic.

When I was four, I fell and hit my face full force on the solid bottom part of a couch, creating quite the bloody mess.

And I'm not afraid of anything except those ginormuous striped spider-looking crickets (I think they are called Camel Backs)...had several unfortunate run-ins with them in my teeny apartment this past summer...one even got on my bed *SHUDDER*

I saw "Tim", the ghost of a young boy who plays in Waverly Hills Sanotarium in Louisville!  He couldn't have been more than 2 feet from me!


As for weird...I WATCH people play D&D every Thursday night at the university...and I'm not a student there.

[RebeccaFog]

I saw a spirit materialize hover momentarily and the disappear one morning when I was in the military.  We were preparing for being in the field and I saw the spirit right in the middle of the back of our APC.

I was not on drugs and I don't think I'd been drinking the night before.  for once.

[Simon]

A couple of strange ways I've hurt myself:

I once hit myself in the back of the head with a hammer as a small kid (a bit too enthusiastic with the swing ).  I bled from that...

I've kicked myself in the head at Tae Kwon Do.  Pretty darn hard, too.

In spite of everything, I've never broken a bone (fortunately).

When drunk I get very affectionate and get this strong need for hugs.  Not romantically; I just need hugs.  I've hugged random strangers lots of times.  When no one will hug me anymore, I've been known to settle for cushions, TVs, wheelie bins, etc.

Oh well, better than getting violent when drunk, like some people get.

I've played lots of D&D games but they've never lasted more than a few sessions (one day I'll get a dedicated group together).  Congrats to NickSister!

[RebeccaFog]

     One time I was really really drunk.  I went down to the swimming pool in the apartment complex where I lived.  There was a woman in there swimming and she was really really pretty.  I thought she was beautiful so I wanted to touch her (not in a bad way).  When I asked her if I could, she pulled me into the pool and walked away.

[KarenLyn]

Weird thing... I never considered myself weird.

I have a fear of heights yet enjoy free climbing and rappelling.
I have a fear of confined spaces yet was fine with living on the ship when I was in the Navy.
A pull-over top will give me a panic attack.
I love my pets more than most people
I miss playing dungeons & dragons
I can remember bad things that happened to me in the past 48 years but have a hard time remembering the good times beyond a couple days.
The last one bugs me the most.

I got attacked by a goose once, those suckers bite, hard!

I've broken 4 major bones, 3 of them wrists, (right wrist twice, left once) .. I averaged a broken bone every 9-10 months for a few years there.  The injuries were from rollerskating (twice), cross country skiing (yes..)  and I broke my ankle falling down the stairs.

The day of my first communion a crystal lamp fell on my head... large gash in my scalp, had to be rushed to the ER, and immobilized on a backboard with a firefighter holding my head still so they could suture... The lamp didn't break O.O ..  still got the scar! 

I have never liked full sugar soda... I never even HAD full sugar soda until I was in college, my parents always bought diet, so thats what I drink..

I am -seriously- afraid of the dark. . . .  Yes, at 26 years old. .

I was riding my stepmoms horse, and she decided she wanted to take a roll in the sand.... with me on her back....  I jumped... quickly  o.o

1: Ive been dead atleast twice...

I don't want to sound like a jerk, but what's it like?

Um, strange fact about me... I can tie a knot in a cherry stem with my tongue. 

[Lukas-H]

For some reason I tried to post here..and it wouldn't do it so here I am typing it all again

Once when I was about 4 or 5 I fell off our porch swing and hit my forehead full-on on the concrete. As far as I know I had no concussions and such.

When I was around 5 or maybe before, I don't remember, I got caught in an electric fence that was on. I've got some kind of marks from it, I'm not sure if they are some type of electrical burn or scarring from the sharp, pointy bits of the fence.

And the other major injury that I remember is getting hit in the head by an aluminum baseball bat from my brother's backswing. For some stupid reason I was walking with my eyes closed, and I walked right into it.

I'm worried about those head injuries :O Maybe they made me crazy?!

I am afraid of spiders/creepy crawly bugs, heights, darkness and deep water or water that I cannot see the bottom to.

While I was still in high school people that I knew or had class with thought I was a pothead because I slept in class a lot. I've never done any sort of hallucinogenic drugs, ever. Go figure

Pickles and cheese or turkey and peanut butter are odd combinations, but I have found them to be good!

[Pica Pica]

pickle and cheese is a standard, but turkey and peanut butter...weirdo.
