DrW Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 In our college (and probably everywhere else), the evaluations students give for their professors consist of a grade and an optional written comment. Until a few years ago, the written comments on the paper questionnaires were entered into the computer by departmental staff. For a few years, I was in charge of this process. The crazy thing: A student left his/her phone number in the comments for the professor, with some encouragement to contact him/her. Of course, this comment was not forwarded to the professor. Now the evaluation of written comments occurs via computer, by "cloud". I wonder if they would catch this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 In San Fran I once saw a computer geek looking guy who had a muscular bald guy on a leash. The muscular guy was wearing the same suit as the gimp from Pulp Fiction minus the mask but had a bull ring in his nose. This was a Tuesday in September.

Needle Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I have a small painting business in Rochester. We occasionally have to do a favor for a property management company and paint a house right in the heart of the ghetto. It isn't alot of fun as you have to constantly be aware of what's going on around you but it is highly entertaining. I have witnessed all sorts of crazy stuff over the years. One time we were painting in a really rough neighborhood. It was an absurdly hot day and nobody was out walking around. We were sitting on the front porch of this empty house, taking a break, and eating lunch. One of my guys sees an animal strolling up the street about a block away. It is bigger than a dog and hard to identify. The animal continues in our direction and eventually makes it into our driveway. It was a miniature pony, like you would see at the state fair or something! It had no identification. It came right up to the porch steps and looked for attention. We gave it water and it stood there for awhile. I called animal control and they came out but it had continued down the road already. They had no idea where it came from and I don't know the final results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/dev/null Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I was driving the other day and passed a few signs on the road for some kind of sale involving a children group or a children product. But I couldn't quite figure out what they were selling or advertising because the color of the second line of the sign kind of blended in with the glare of the Sun. So all I got out of the sign was Children Something glared out Sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that the wild animals can't read so they can't follow the basic rules of the animal kingdom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 We saw a coyote chasing a squirrel in our back yard. The squirrel ran onto the deck, climbed up the railing, and ran across. The coyote, from ground level, jumped about 4 feet in the air, nabbed the squirrel by the tail, and devoured him in the back yard. (I think it was a sick coyote, since it happened in broad daylight and it was alone. (Coyotes are nocturnal pack animals.) Our cat, who normally preferred to be outside, had just come in to eat. He was at the door wanting to go back out when the whole thing went down. He watched with the most frightened look I've ever seen on his face. He hid behind the couch and didn't ask to go outside for the rest of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That's No Moon Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Just before Easter a church near my in laws house has a live action crucifixion reanactment using children on the crosses. They do this in front of the church basically on the side of the road, and the kids take turns on the crosses. Not sure how long they are there but it's not a minute or two.

frostbitmic Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Years ago, just before moving from our apartment, I went up the stairs into the attic to get some things I had stored up there. I got up near the top of the stairs and stopped dead in my tracks, stared for a few seconds and quickly backed down the stairs, shut and locked the door. What was at the top of the stairs was 3 dead pigeons in a row, all headless. I thought Ozzy was living in the attic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
