What is the weirdest thing...

[Haipule]

What is the weirdest thing that ever happened to you? Something that defies explanation.

About ten years ago, I was driving home late from work in a residential area near my home. I was driving my wife's new Ranger when all of a sudden a cat darts right in front of me! I slammed on the brakes and nothing! I just kept going! I let the brake off and reapplied them and stopped. I then got out of the truck to see if I could help the cat. There was no cat.

Continuing home, I kept slamming on the brakes to make sure they worked as it was my wife's vehicle. They worked every time. When I turned onto my street, it dawns on me that the reason the brakes seemed to not work was because the truck was in flight!

Say Wot?

I think he "jumped over" the cat, ie hit a makeshift ramp in the road and went airborne.

Or maybe he's not too good at jokes?

I think he's implying that his god lifted the truck to save the cat.

Which is funny to me, since in my area of the world, everything from squirrels to household pets (usually cats) to deer and moose are hit by vehicles with some regularity, with most of the drivers believing in one of the variations of the god he believes in. Shit, I almost hit a freaking owl several years ago at night because it caught its prey in my lane.

Animals in the road... pretty mundane. You want weird? Try tripping on ketamine. Back in the late 80s/early 90s my surgeon used it as my general anesthetic (or, part of a cocktail). It's the reason why I laugh at all the NDE threads. I know firsthand what a brain can do when it's being chemically altered. I still vividly remember several of my hallucinations. And I'm talking shit like seeing my own mother operate on me, being on a floating island in a purple-gray void with lightning in the background as 3D letters whizzed by me while everything smelled of ozone and rain, etc.

I can think of an explanation for everything that has ever happened in my life. Isn't that normal? Miracles kind of never happen

I didn't imply anything. It defies explanation. Looking back, I have done experiments with ElectroMagnetism because my opinion is the truck was in an EM bubble(don't know what else to call it). In an EM bubble, gravity can't recognize weight and the light bending around means I was also invisible. Yet, how did I get in an EM bubble? I could point to God, or angels or, whatever but, I would rather understand the mechanics. It is mechanically possible naturally because I've seen it. I'm getting to understanding it and soon I will fly again and I will be Gravity Man! Gravity is a scalar force. The vector of weight is down. In an EM bubble, you would be fully weight but you would experience no wind or G-force. I could stop on a dime and give you 9 cents change!

Hammy ...That's because you've never experience the miracle of LOVE!

I did veer off to the left as the road veered to the right. Apparently, the steering didn't work either!
