Today's Weird Stories...

Right before my dad's last class for the day started, one of the girls was telling us about something that happened to someone on her hall (in a dorm, of course). The girl had a pet snake for quite some time, and she pretty much treated it like a pet dog (feeding it, sleeping with it, etc.). One day, she thought the snake was acting unusual, and tried to find out what was causing the change of behavior. It turns out that the snake was sizing itself up to the girl to see how much longer it had to grow to eat her.

O_O!

I may be givin him too much credit, but if he was actually being serious he might be thinking "gay=guyxguy, lesbian=girlxgirl, homosexual=either" or something similar.

As a matter of fact gay is used for both here, but mostly for guyxguy. We have own words that are for the respective pairing only too though, but many borrow the English word.

And that snake thing.. So creeeeeeepy!

Thank you for clearing that up, Abs.  The thought is pretty creepy, but completely unlike normal snake behavior.

yeah, entirely too smart for a snake from my experience when I owned one. Oftentimes when trying to catch its prey, it would end up biting itself and squeezing for a second or two before realizing its mistake. :V

[aly_angelflight]

Meh, I actually heard someone tell that story, so who knows...

[Akonyl]

I don't think Abs is doubting that you heard the story, but that doesn't mean you should automatically accept everything you hear as truth, especially when it's an acquaintance of an acquaintance.

While we played something groovy, a dog suddenly went on stage and basically started dancing. All of the crowd took interest in the dog, so hopefully the thing about me exploding from laughter during my solo was less noticed. At least it was a 4 bars solo so no actual harm was done.
Not that it wasn't amusing, but I don't expect dogs to be allowed into a club.

Yesterday I was driving a train, minding my own business and when we passed through a little village some geek was there photographing the train as we passed by

Almost sounds like our sister's boyfriend

Not like it was a special train or anything, just a random one. Nothing fascinating about it at all.

@Kain: Nah.

[Akonyl]

you may think so, but apparently he thinks otherwise.

edit: Today's weird story: I just learned that somewhere in Taiwan they have decided to use molds to make very NSFW corn dogs. My mind is boggled.

Got a text from my cousin informing me that she was on her way that read: "I'm coming down the 22 bus route... LIKE A BUS!"
