The "I Saw Something REALLY Weird Today" Thread

In English class, we had a pre-test, and there was an example of an essay, and one of the paragraphs involved the song "Living on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi. I like the song, but I just never expected it to be included in a test.

Reminds me of the time my Grade 3 teacher included Red Guy from Cow and Chicken in a math test, lol.

Have you ever played 20q online where you think of an object and the computer tries to read your mind? (http://www.20q.net/) There's one called the Name Game, and you think of a person you know (not a celebrity), and it guesses their name. I did myself (Aly) with the result of Moonjay, then did some of my friends with the results of Peanut Butter, Kira (LOL Dark Crystal ), Miley (ironically, she isn't a fan of Hannah Montana), and Kit-Kat.

I have two different versions of the 20Q hand-held game, but I never tried online before, but I think I will...

and on top of all that, one of our spelling words is "guy". We have all these large words that aren't usually used on a daily basis, and then the word "guy". What next? "Dude"?

"Guy"? What grade does your teacher think you're in?

Getting back to YouTube weird stuff, I was watching an old movie clip featuring Lynda Carter.

In the video description, the user went on to mention how gorgeous, hot, sexy, etc Lynda is... okay, I can agree with that, she was (and still is) a beautiful woman.

THEN, he went on to compare Lynda to his MOTHER, and talk about how gorgeous, hot, sexy, etc his mother is... WHAT TEH ELMO, MAN? !

Well yesterday I found Doctor Who listed in a collum of proper nouns and common nouns at English, I thought it was pretty unusual. And for muppety related weirdness watch this!

If that's not "Really weird" then I don't know what is! The ending is so true too, but am I the only one thinking this improves Kira's image almost?

I was reading this "Book of Lists" or something like that, (full of awesome fun facts) and one list was "Popular Terms/Phrases of the 60's" or something, and I commonly use about a third to a half. And I wasn't even alive back then! Should I be scared?

Should I be scared?

Nope. Look at my DVD library, I've got shows like Bewitched, Green Acres, I Dream of Jeannie, M*A*S*H, Sanford and Son, etc.

Of course, then again, my obsession with Scooby-Doo as a kid might be a supporting factor of why I occasionally use the word "groovy"
