For a change, how about bizarre and dumb things family members have done in the past? 

According to my Mum, when she was a girl in the 30's, one of her brothers caught an eel and decided to 'smoke' it.  So, he hung it on a hook up in the farmhouse chimney.  In Summer. In rural Australia. 
A couple of weeks later, Grandmother banned the topic of 'smoked eel' when a stinky, flyblown eel landed in the lounge room fireplace. Urk!

Karen.

I think that I would have to say that I'm the bizare part of the family, that whole boy into girl thing. 

This tale falls into the dumb category

My family had various boats as I grew up, one day my dad was pulling our boat into a lock walking backwards, he'd navigated this lock for years but had forgotten about the 7 or 8 ft drop onto concrete by the steps, seconds after he hit the wet, slippery concrete my nan poked her head out of the boat & exclaimed with her lilting Irish accent "Aww, I missed it, can you do it again please?". . . . .pmsl

My grandmother was saved from being crushed from her drunk grandfather when she was like 1 yrs old by an angel. Yes we have had miracles in my families background. Lots and lots of praying happens with the women from moms side of the family. 

Its a miracle i survived this long in my life too    thats from all of moms prayers for me as she still does daily at 89 

This one goes into the seriously dumb category.

Me & my brother were fishing on the canal & a group of swans were taking our bait so we got some bread & led them away, we then cut down a steep slope to make our way back so they wouldn't follow.
As we cut through a field I found a pidgeon that had been shot but not killed & insisted that we save it.
We went back up the slope to the boat & came to a barbed wire fence, I climbed through & my brother passed the bird to me, as he put it in my hands the dry mud beneath his feet slide away & he dragged his wrists down the barbed wire. He stood up with blood everywhere & all I could think of saying was "you find a safer way back i'll get the bird to safety" DUMB!!

I got to the boat & my parents said they couldn't do anything for the bird, after sitting down to for about 5 minutes my mum asked where my brother was & I responded "he cut his wrist open on some barbed wire but he'll be fine" DUMB, DUMB, DUMB!!

He was alright but I couldn't work out at the time why my parents went mental?!?
