I once saw a bee taking a poop
Hmm... weird things.
Two things come to mind... I was in a car, and witnessed a guy on a highway trying to get from the collector lanes to the express lanes. He'd started late, but was too determined... ran out of lane, then ran out of shoulder, and mounted the end of the start of a guardrail, surfed along that for about 10', then cartwheeled laterally 2x360 into the express lanes.... I'm pretty sure that guy died, but by that time, our car was well ahead of it, and I never did find out for sure.
Cause of death: fatal stubbornness??
And my winner.... came during a period of my life where I drank a fair bit. (I was in my 20's, and it seemed there was a party to go to every other day.) I have poor balance to begin with, and if I was actually successfully drunk, it was pretty bad. One day I get home, go up the elevator... and when I get off at my floor (keeping in mind it has to be 1 or 2am), there's this young boy (maybe 11 or 12?) in the hallway... I paid no attention, but he runs over to me, jumps up on me, and starts trying to dry-hump my leg?!
I was too confused for a few seconds before, "Ewww, stop that!" and pushed him off. But really.... wtf?!
No! No, I have another one... I was very inebriated at the time, but was privvy to the great affects of adrenalin that night. During my 'party years', I'd once accepted a ride home with this guy... since most of us were young, the car was chock full. I didn't realize, but the driver was totally hammered. (Yes, you have to be pretty drunk not to realize that, I guess.)
So here we are, whipping along the highway when the driver's conscience woke up, he announces "I'm not driving no mo'", takes his feet off the pedals, and crosses his arms on his chest. Instantly, the guy in the passenger seat became the guy controlling the pedals, and me, the half-blind drunk guy sitting behind the driver in the back seat, became the guy steering... we slowed right down, got off at the next exit, and everyone bailed. That's about where my memory stops -- I have no idea how I got home. That was the last ride I ever accepted home from one of those parties.
Yes, truly, alcohol can make you do incredibly stupid things.
