I can tell who is walking around my house by the sound of the footsteps.

Can you not explain this? People wear different shoes, have different weight, have varied gaits, and  walking styles through which to intonate.

I originally didn't intend for that to rhyme, but once I saw the rhyme I had to go out of my way to achieve it.

I once knew a cat so fat, if you heard it coming down the stairs you weren't always sure if it was a person or that damn fatass. What I can't explain is how did the bastard get so fat.

I had a little brass sphere about 3cm in diameter (now my question is how they make a piece of metal into a perfect sphere)

Anyway, I was throwing it between a stack of two pillows directly in front of me. It would slide right between the pillows as if it had vanished from this world

I did it about 5 times, and then it vanished!

I searched all throughout the inside of the pillowcases and removed the cushions from the nearby couch and searched inside and under the couch but it was nowhere to be found!

I never did find it T.T

Also the alarm clock thing, the human internal clock is awesome, you don't need to set your alarm. Just tell yourself you'll get up at a certain time and you should wake up about 2 minutes before every time.

I was staying on a RAF base for a week. During the meal times, I would get a glass of water to go with me food, and I would sit down at a table.

My glass of water would move slowly towards me, though. It didn't matter what table I sat at, what glass I was drinking from, or where at the table I was, it would always move towards me. Nobody else experienced this, only me.

Are you made of uranium, or something with a similar density?

Please, everyone knows that bugs drink from your eye while you sleep. And that they get addicted. And watch you for when you fall asleep. And wait. And watch. And wait.

Fuckin cockroaches, man. Sometimes they bite.

I can't explain it but.... everyday, when I'm doing something at my computer, my eyes suddenly shift to the corner with system clock and it's 19:42.

Almost everyday.

I'm posting on forums or I'm playing a windowed game, or, which is the most creepy scenario; I'm listening to music and reading a book, NOT EVEN STARING at the monitor - at one point I look in the corner and it's 19:42.

I know that human body and mind can set itself to react at certain point in time, but DAMN. I'm creepied out by myself because of this.

And no, my clock isn't perpetually set to 19:42 :P

Go and get a 12-hour clock, and see if the same thing happens when it hits 7:42. It would be interesting if it happened on both 7:42's per day. And by "interesting", I mean "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!".

There are ways, people can be persuaded.

Yeah, I used to think I had superpowers when I could hear the TV even when it was on mute from three rooms away. I think it's just like the mosquito noise, children and young adults are more sensitive to it.
Hell yea, I usually end up turning the tv off.

Then people tell me the tv was off and I'm like 'no, no it wasn't'.
they don't understand !

How much does Windows Media Player suck? I just downloaded a bunch of music and a couple of the artist/album tags were screwed up. In windows 7 at any rate, I couldn't edit them. Wtf. I downloaded a program I've always had good results with on other computers to edit all the tags, and it worked fine except for it decided not to finish converting one of the songs, leaving only a ".tmp" file behind - and deleting the actual music file. Fantastic.

That's why you should use mplayer, ffmpeg, and lame to mess around with your media. If you can get around the command line, you've got some pretty damn awesome tools in there. Oh, and if you really loath command line stuff, take a look at SUPER.

I can't think of anything unexplained, but I've had some pretty weird stuff happen to me.

When I was pretty young, I came home from school one day and heard a bunch of crows making a ton of noise. I looked into the backyard and the big tree back there was full of maybe a dozen crows, all cawing and divebombing something at the back of the yard. The "something" appeared to be this bizarre animal. It was smallish, with a canine snout but a long thin cat-like tail and no real fur patterns. It looked malnourished, with its ribs showing. It was slinking along our back fence, and the crows were trying to attack it or chase it away or something. It made its way across our backyard and then out of sight. It didn't look like any animal I'd ever seen and for years I couldn't identify it.

Looking back now, I'm pretty sure it must've been a fox with mange. It could've ended up as another canine "chupacabra" sighting if only chupacabras were native to Canada. :P
