The most unpossible thing you've ever witnessed?
I'm talking about those freak occurrences of chance where the the all the moons are in alignment with Uranus and the simplest, yet bizarre occurrence arises out of nothing.
One day 3 or 4 of us were out riding up in the mountains and riding down a local highway in the staggered formation. A discarded paper drink cup was laying in right side of the lane and commonly front riders will point to hazards to rearward riders to avoid it. The guy riding on the right side sees it, feint motions around it and goes to point to it with his right foot when the draft from the line of bikes bobbles it up and it hits his boot square on top. Just then, like a soccer ball, it bounces cleanly over his head and comes down on the right boot of the guy to his left rear while his foot is just sitting on the peg and not even aware of what just happened. Again, the cup gets knocked up and rainbows over his head to the left and lands in the lane to the left. First and Second guy had no idea what happened as the two of us behind them tried to explain the weirdness of what transpired. go.

i one time dropped a glass trying to reach it on the top shelf in a cupboard, as it was falling i couldn't use my hands because i had a tv dinner, hot and open, so i stuck out my foot as i only had a sock on and the glass fell perfectly on my foot and kinda went, "fooop" as the air went out. it was brilliant and i wish i caught it on tape so i could rule youtube for 10 minutes.

Lunch in the HS cafeteria: My friend threw a tin foil ball up at a ceiling fan (~25') and it hits the spinning blade and flies directly back to him. We just sat there like

I saw young deer run across the road, and almost make it to the other side, but it got clipped by this A-Team looking van with a gnarly brush-guard. The deer flew, what seemed to be 50 ft., straight up into the air, spinning on its side looking like a frisby grew four legs and a head, and land uncerimoniously in a heap right on the side of the road. It was awesome.

We were fishing one morning at this small pond in North Georgia, when all of the sudden fish started jumping everywhere. I said something along the lines of "it'd be cool if one jumped out of the water and landed on the dock."
5 minutes later a 5lb Largemouth Bass jumped clear out of the water, and right onto the deck until I picked him up. |

When you're on 2 wheels at highway speeds and you have no idea whats in a cup/bag/box, you avoid them all unconditionally. I've had small stones pitch a wheel over an inch or two in a straight line enough to peg the pucker factor to defcon 4. A guy i know had the front end wash out on a flattened beer can turning at a city intersection.

We had a small rockfish jump in the boat on the severn river.
Another unpossible moment for me was driving maybe 45mph, and hearing a loud "BOINNGGGG!!", then seeing a bird kinda fall to the ground behind me. So I figured I hit him, but how?! He was above me. . Then I noticed feathers dangling from my radio antenna. The bird flew right into my radio antenna (Ford Taurus). Next story: Goose hunting. My father shot a goose as it was circling around above the tree getting set to land into our decoys in the field. Well, after the shot, the bird flew into a dead tree where the top branches were shaped like \/ . The head got stuck in the dead center of the \/. The weight of the body ripped the head off (still stuck in tree). The carcass fell to the ground still flapping wings for 30 seconds beheaded with blood spraying out of its neck. |

As a youngster, my friends' family had a camping trailer down at a campground near the beach. I was camping with them and us two kids were sleeping in those stacked bunks that folded out from the cabinets. I was sleeping on the top bunk and since it was kinda cramped, my head was half hanging over the side and i guess because of the angle, i drooled a bit. My buddy was on the bottom bunk and sleeping with his arm outstretched over the side with his palm face up and directly in-line under my head. Apparently i had conveniently drooled a bit at that exact time and it landed square in his hand. This woke him up and after realizing what happened yelled up to me to cut it out. I woke up and just laughed while he went to wash his hands.

One time I had a customer come in the shop to have a flip down screen installed in his van and as I was working I noticed a lot of dog hair in the van and when I slid the seat up I discovered a small formation of dog logs. I called the customer to tell him he needed to clean out the van before I could finish it and he came down and tried to tell me they were chocolates he had dropped in the floor and "forgotten" about. I advised him that they were clearly turds and he was so stubborn/embarassed that he licked one of them just to prove they were not crap. This was also witnessed by another employee and to this day nobody will believe us.

Once in college I was sitting on the couch lighting a cigarette. I casually tossed the Marlboro box onto the coffee table and it landed upside down, on the shortest side of the pack, standing up. I then tossed the matchbox onto the table and it too landed on the shortest side of the box, standing up next to the cigarettes. I sat there and thought about what happened for a LONG time.

A couple of african guys got in a fight in the parking lot at work. One of them took of his belt. "I beat you man! I beat you!" starts swinging his belt at the other dude. The other guy took his belt off and they just stood there hitting each other with their belts, buckle end of course. Went on for five minutes or so. Weirdest fight I've ever seen.

When my brother and 7 or 8 he was wobbling back and fourth on his chair at the dinner table. Well he falls back and when he is almost to the ground he throws his full cup of milk into the air. It lands on the table with a thud dosen't tip or slide at all not spilling a drop.

This would probably be better told by the truck driver, but it was freaky!
My friend was driving as we entered a long bridge with a slight bend at the start. It was foggy, at night and he wasn't really familiar with the roads. There were 5 of us in a 1992 Honda Accord, I was center in the back seat. He took off from the light (which would be at the bottom of the photo) way to fast for the conditions and his unfamiliarity with the road. He was heading right towards the guard rail on the left side. He way over corrected and spun us around, probably doing 60 by that time. So were going 60 (slowly decelerating) in reverse, on a bridge with an 18 wheeler coming right at us. And were slowly moving to the left (our left, the roads right) and right into the oncoming 18 wheeler. Somehow, he yanks it and we spin around in time for the 18 wheeler to pass (don't know why he didn't brake???) and we're facing straight and continue on our merry way. The car is the small square, the dot represents the hood of the car. The bridge is 3 lanes wide, and if we went over the edge we would have fallen to our deaths. I really don't remember him spinning us back around, but I definitely remember seeing an 18wheelers headlights 5 feet from the car, doing 45-50mph in reverse. I absolutely wish that was recorded, because it would easily win me $10K on one of those Video shows. |

He had a lot of hair metal and old 80s era cds in his van and this started us into this stupid game we play at the shop where we add fecal references to the names of bands for example ****alica, brown sabbath,ac/feces,lynyrd skynturd,alice pooper,frank crappa,log zeplin,def lepturd,toilet riot,motley pooh......you get the idea it sounds lame as hell as I describe it but its hillarious to us for some reason.
