You see there are so many mysterious things that cannot be explained scientifically. I have encountered minor mysteries recently and they would be mind-numbingly boring for others but I am personally intriged. Here are some. 1... I try not to get wasted when I go drinking alone. When I was in Cambridge earlier this month, I didn't drink too much so I was very concious and made back to the hotel room safely. But when I got up next morning, I felt sharp pain on my middle finger tip. It was a sharp cut by glass or something. But I don't even remember touching borken glass. I had no idea how I got it.. Since the cut was rather deep, there is a scar still on my finger. And I thought "what if somebody intentionally cut my finger with a sharp piece of glass with some unknown virus on it?" Should I contact X-file people? huh... Less Jack Daniels next time.
2...I ordered an americano at Starbucks today. The person who ordered "Double tall mocha with a lot of crap" got his order first even though he was behind me. Why would espresso and hot water take longer? The mysterious thingy is I waited for my order for more than 5 mins.
3...I didn't eat anything weird yesterday but I am EXTREMELY gassy today. That's mysterious.... I managed to release some while I was swimming at the gym.
I hear all the best Olympic swimmers improve their their race times using gassy, liquid not released, propulsion. Just means you're a champion in the pool :)
You had to wait the extra 5 minutes for your Americano 'cause the clerk wanted the extra time to look at you!
The cut on your finger is obviously the work of aliens....
Bah. Steve beat me to the punch about the superhot barrista wanted to stare at you a little longer. I h8 him. *heh*
I hear the X-Files theme... Clearly the Aliens are taking you to their spaceship and experimenting on you. Did the Americano taste 'strange' at all? The gas is probably a side effect of one of those... probes. ;-)
That cut on your finger was obviously the result of some time-released substance injected into your body that caused the eventual flatulence! ;)
1) I get bruises I don't remember getting but a cut like that...... maybe it WAS Jack.
2) That's not a mystery, that's just rude. I think Steve is right, who could be rude to you. :-)
3) Nothing to do with your gas attack but your liquid comment reminded me of something someone said to me once.
"Having a smoking section in a restaurant, is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool".
Have a great week-end!! :-)
Bubbly path? I can still one-up you on that. No less than 3 times in the last couple weeks (it must be the substitute teaching that does this), I started to the bathroom at home, only to find myself standing over the kitchen garbage can, ready to use it as a urinal.
Can you say "FLAKY?"
ah swimming! it's too cold here in michigan to go swimming.
HI Steve,
hahaha. Well, I am absolutely sure no one noticed me doing that so I am safe :-) The barista didn't really look at me or anything and I was in a crappy outfit at that time so I wasn't pretty but thanks for the compliment :-) Yeah, I think I have to report my scar to someone :-) You have a fantabulous week!
HI Vuboq,
The problem was that the barista wasn't super hot at all. I am sure he was a new guy and screwed up my order. That's why I recently order a cup of coffee instead :-( Darn. You have a fantabulous week!
HI T.Kevin,
hahaha. But it was kinda freaky when I looked at the cut in the following morning and don't remember where I got it. That was very scary. The club was very dark so I guess I touched some broken glass I didn't really notice about. The Americano wasn't strange :-) You have a fantabulous week!
HI TigerYogi,
So I guess I am doomed? Hehehe. Well, I am sure there is an explanation but I just don't know how I got it. And this happened to me three nights in a row!!! That was the freaky part. You have a fantabulous week!
HI Maggie,
There was tiny Jack the ripper in the club? Geez, I should have noticed. But I wasn't in London :-) Wow, that's a great way to put it. I mean the smoking one. But being an ex-smoker myself, I don't really mind people smoking near by as long as I am guaranteed not to have lung cancer. You have a fantabulous week!
HI Bri,
Oh yes, Bubbly path :-) Standing over the kitchen garbage can and ready to use it as a uniral? SERIOUSLY? I think it's gotta be more than "flaky". :-) You have a fantabulous week!
Hi P.Kel,
Welcome to my site! Well, there is air-conditioning at the gym and the pool is heated very well so swimming in winter isn't an issue. But keep yourself warm! Michigan. :-) I was there earlier this month but it wasn't cold at that time! Lucky me. You have a fantabulous week!
