The Strange, Weird & Wonderful Thread

[Trapper John]

Like it says on the label

I wondered if there would be any mileage in a thread like this, then I dreamed last night and in it a voice said "Build me a Strange, Weird & Wonderful thread and they will come"

It was either God or the Devil so it's wise not to upset either, so get posting - the destination of my eternal soul might depend on it.

I suppose I better start the ball rolling.

This is a little personal one, happened years ago but I still find it odd when I think about it.

This was about 15 years ago, both my mum and dad were ill with bad colds and couldn't get out. While I was visiting my dad asked if I would pop to the cash machine and get some cash out for them.

We both banked with the same bank so I knew where there was a machine. My dad always liked to use the same one, I think he believed they still charged you if you used another bank's machine.

Anyway I asked for his PIN and was astounded to find his number was exactly the same as mine except for the last digit being the next up from mine, for example his being 4321 and mine being 4322.

I asked him how long he'd had the number and like me he'd had it since his first debit card, changed it the first time and kept the same number since. Neither of us had any reason to ask or know each others numbers in the past and they had no significance to either of us, they were both just a totally random number choice.

Maybe it's just me but I find that quite weird

My dbs check had my grans telephone number in the reference. It also comes up in door codes at work.

Oh a decent thread!

When I was 4 months pregnant with my first child, bearing in mind I didn't want to know the sex of the baby until it was born, I had a dream of my sons face, I was convinced I was having a girl all along so dismissed the dream but on the day he was born it was him, the baby boy in my dream.

A wonderful idea for a thread TJ.

But I am afraid apart from certain sleep paralysis Hypnagogic dreams/hallucinations (which could be termed by some as 'weird') nothing unusual has ever happened to me.

Perhaps when this thread has a few more posts it could be expanded to include few of the latest weird and wonderful scientific stories could be included here as well?

I was watching the original Bladerunner film on the weekend, and when Darryl Hannah came on screen, my husband made a joke about her having a bloke’s name, and I said that’s Darryl and her other brother Darrell. It was a reference to a show from the 80’s called Newhart, and a little fella named Larry introduces himself and his brothers to (Bob) Newhart by saying, “hi, I’m Larry, this is my brother Darrell, and this is my other brother Darrell.” They're a bit like hillbillies I suppose. Anyway, not 2 minutes later, the actor who played Larry pops up in the film. It’s been about 10 years since I watched the film and I honestly had no memory of this guy being in it. His name is William Sanderson.

Well. I don't believe in either the god or the devil. So IMV I think your soul is pretty safe.

I have had a lot of dreams where I can jump really high. And I often do jump really high while thinking, this is what I dream I can do, yet here I am really doing it. I keep thinking I am awake when I jump really high. It seems so real
