Comment preview: Long story, involving an orange VW bus, a newspaper columnist, and a pretty girl. Girl is a "unicorn." Sweet as pie, chill as can be, gorgeous, humble. Needless to say, after spending some time with her on a road trip, I was smitten. She had a boyfriend th ....

Comment preview: So ["The Guy" that people thought was Blue Jay](http://i.imgur.com/MkgWe.jpg) is "Fred", an old patron of my brother from the bar he used to bartend at (Cafe Taci) a few years back. Fred was a regular at the bar because it was near Columbia University. Fre ....

Comment preview: Coincidence 1: I grew up on the west coast, and at age 16 (1980) my family moved to the east coast. Age 20 I went to college on the south coast. My best friend at college mentioned one night that he had lived on the west coast, and you guessed it, his fami ....

Comment preview: Things I realized while putting these maps together: Romanian matches way more with Western Europe than Eastern (which makes sense, as it's a descendant of Latin). Hungarian, on the other hand, shares a lot of the same pronunciation rules with its Slavic n ....

Comment preview: Like I was saying, Archer. That plane. Malaysia is a huge part of the Southeast Asia drug trafficking circuit. I wonder if there was a drug kingpin on the flight and he was taken out. >Uh huh. I mean, it makes sense: why else would a flight just up and ....

Comment preview: >repeatedly butchers the pronunciation of pho, calls it phoe at least 6 times, shamelessly People who aren't from Vietnam can't pronounce Vietnamese names. Try to pronounce my Indian name without fucking it up, numbnuts. > I like to put chopsticks ....

Comment preview: Oh boy, this sentiment again. Look, preferences are preferences. But it's just like a weird coincidence that for hundreds of years, the people in power in Europe and America laughed at how dumb and ugly black people are, and today, a lot of people don't fi ....

Comment preview: I haven't used Craigslist, but have used a dating/meetup site (CL isn't really big in my country). I have had a few good one night stands through that. Just always be prepared for some weird shit and to bail out if things get *too* weird. I don't have any ....

Comment preview: I've posted this story on reddit before, but here it is again: Me and my two good friends took mushrooms for maybe our 3rd time. We were hanging out flipping through the TV guide and noticed that The Cat in the Hat was on. My friend started talking about h ....

Comment preview: The Umbrella Man springs to mind. For anyone unfamiliar with this particular instance of historical weirdness, take a look at the Zapruder film of the JFK assassination. A perfectly sunny, bright day in Dallas Texas. No expectation of any inclement weather ....

Comment preview: My uncle is a cop in a pretty sleepy town. He used to always go to the cemetary and take naps in his cruiser. He told me how, one night, he was awoken by a sound and it startled him. He looked out the window and saw a weird glow coming from about 30 yards ....

Comment preview: ([Screenshot album](http://imgur.com/a/vw99R)) Next week is "Friends of friends", eh? And his friend picks him up, [but lets him recover on his own](http://i.imgur.com/plw3lni.jpg), quite an interesting character. It was obvious that she tried the diary be ....

Comment preview: When I was younger, 16, my mom got a phone call around 8pm. It was my cousin telling her that mom's sister had a heart attack and was headed to the hospital. We started packing for a couple of days and headed up to the northern part of the state where my ....

Comment preview: You should have seen the most recent one that blew up, about a guy who ate sugar free gummy bears (like he never heard the horror stories) and shared with a family next to him. A baby projectile shits thru his "onesie" he shits and simultaneously throws u ....

Comment preview: Created a throwaway just to post this. I started dating a guy who I met through a mutual friend, and initially he seemed pretty normal: a little quiet but very funny, friendly, was into anime and comics for the most part. He wasn't that bright, but overall ....

Comment preview: This story reminds me of The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket, from Edgar Allen Poe in 1838. It was first written Blair Witch style claiming it was based off real events but the event never happened. the short of the story is that a whaling ship ....

Comment preview: Ok this is weird more than creepy, but one night I was up at around 2AM. Our cable had gone out, and I'd left the TV on snow just in case it came back on again. Meanwhile, I was looking up old classic rock songs and I decided to listen to The Doors 'C'mon ....

Comment preview: Hey there. This is Scott Benson, animator of the above video. I actually didn't have a Reddit account until right now, and haven't really been here before aside from that one time Mike Nelson did an ask me anything. And I think I read some of that Marines ....

Comment preview: I was told my wisdom teeth were impacted and would never come in. One morning, one finally broke the surface. That night I found out I was pregnant. Hmm...weird coincidence. Two years later, another tooth erupts. ...*I wonder*...sure as shit, I took a pre ....

Comment preview: I agree. I get that he was tipped over, head down, in a rolled up gym mat, but that's an IMPRESSIVE amount of circumstances for it to just be a coincidence/accident. I wouldn't rule it out, though. The problem is that the school, authorities, and funeral h ....

Comment preview: My dad and his brother have not talked in about twenty years. Past family drama kind of stuff, the type where no one really remembers, but everybody keeps the show going by just avoiding each other. My uncle lives in Arizona, my dad lives in Michigan. My d ....

Comment preview: My Ouija story isn't as great as yours, but it remains unexplainable. When my sister and I were in high school, we, along with our friends, started playing around with the Ouija board, as silly high school girls will do. My mother, who is a SuperChristia ....

Comment preview: Okay, here we go: * Semi-major axis: If you have an oval, the semi-major axis is the half the distance across the "long" way. Orbits are typically oval shaped. * Perihelion: the part of the orbit of a thing around a sun where it is closest to the sun * AU: ....

Comment preview: Another was when two students broke into a fight during lunch and ended up in the principals office until their parents came. One hour later the school is in a code red, which is where no one can leave the classrooms, all doors are locked, students are for ....

Comment preview: I worked with a girl "J" over the summer who told me once that every time someone she knew became pregnant, someone else she knew (however vaguely) would die. She also had almost prophetic dreams and knew when someone was pregnant before they ever told her ....
