Move over Ripley, it's Steve's Believe It or Not! OK today was absolutely unbelievably NUTS. INSANE. OUT OF CONTROL.

I'm gonna list events and take a guess as to which events (hint: more than one of the following actually happened) ACTUALLY took place, believe it or not...

1. As I was exiting my school through the Gym hallway, I stopped by the open gym door and saw the big gym with no lights on, and on the floor was an old man unconscious! I quickly called the police, they came, took him to the hospital, and called me a hero. I was just at the right place at the right time...
(no one else was around at this time in the afternoon, no classes scheduled at that time, remember this is a college)

2. When I woke up this morning, I saw a small snake next to me on my bed! Its tongue was flicking wildily. I immediately pounced up and examined myself, ahem... and then took gloves and snatched up the disgusting thing in a bag and took it to the animal police.

3. Today during lecture class, I sat way in the back and this relatively hot chick was next to me. After a while we talked some, and I realize she worships 2D gaming! She told me she even has a Neo Geo system hooked up and all! She told me when she's not shopping for makeup and shoes, she's playing games.

4. An NBA Hall-of-Famer contacted me via email to ask me SPECIFICALLY to go out on town to do a certain task for him. I agreed, went out, did it, and reported back to him. I guess you could say I was a freelance reporter signed for five hours. One of the NBA's top 50 players thanked me gratefully when all was said and done.

5. When I took the bus home, it was me and 7 other people. Suddenly, this tough looking dude marches to the front of the bus mysteriously. He paces around a little, which prompted the bus driver to order the man to sit down. So he did begrudgingly. He was facing the windows and I was sitting facing his profile. In his jacket side hole, I spotted a gun! He had this crazy look in his eyes as well. So I immediately got off the next stop, and called the police immediately.

6. While surfing the local news today, I found out one of my old buddies is a wanted convict! We went to elementary school together, then I moved, and by coincidence we went to the same high school. We even worked together on a video project back in '99. Now he's a wanted fugitive and I am facing the question: should I call in or not....

7. On my way home today on the bus, the bus smoked up during half my destination, and it really smelled bad. Finally the driver tells everyone to get the hell out immediately. We stood outside a busy road during heavy traffic. So cars stood there, with people looking at us and making wild hand gestures and asking if everything is ok. Meanwhile, I get in a conversation with a 30 year old something man who is running late on a job interview. Nice guy.

8. I no longer like the World Heroes games

Guess which ones are true, and which ones are not... you will be surprise at what's real, and what's not...

yeah this one - the janitor could have passed out, cleaning the floor

again i reckon yes - due to emulation there are alot more lovers than haters out there, she may be fibbing about the set up though - could only be a pentium 4, 2ghz

5. When I took the bus home, it was me and 7 other people. Suddenly, this tough looking dude marches to the front of the bus mysteriously.

yeah - due to americas Gun culture i reckon this is definately true

6. While surfing the local news today, I found out one of my old buddies is a wanted convict! We went to elementary school together, then I moved, and by coincidence we went to the same high school.

yeah - but you wont call him in because he is an old friend

8. I no longer like the World Heroes games
False because nobody actually liked it in the first place

i was wondering about the snake as well - but i reckon if that happened you would just throw it back outside and this one u guess depends on which state you live in

Texas - hell yes
New york - definately not wink

Dude I have woken to snakes three times... I FUCKIN HATE SNAKES... WHY DO THEY COME FOR ME. Honestly though, since I have no idea what is real and what is not, I will vent my snake stories.

Snake story number one... Camp, I was 12... woke up snake sitting on the floor next to my bed... I was paralyzed... GOD DAMN I SCREAMED LIKE A GIRL. Someone grabed it and threw it outside, I didn't sleep for the rest of the week... I had one eye open and I freaked out every itch... Scorpions in the bed that week to, god I hate camp...

Flash forward a few years I am 15, I walk downstairs to get a drink in the middle of the night. I am basically blind, I can't see shit without my contacts or glasses, but I always walk around blind at night. My parents have tile floor, it is really cool in the summer FL nights... it had been raining for three days straight and it was steamy and wet outside. I go into the kitchen and feel something odd... My foot is not touching the floor completly. I turn on the light, I see nothing, I am blind remember... I get closer and squint.... SNAKE!!! FUCKING SNAKE... I AM STANDING ON A SNAKE!!!! Not just any snake, a f'n rattler. He is sleeping due to the cool tile, it has him in hibernate mode, but he is waking up. I throw a big pot on him and cover it with shit... I filled a tea kettle with water and put it on top. His tail is half way out and I am freaking out.... I wasn't touching this thing and my mom wouldn't either... I am a baby I know, but I don't care. My dad was going to be home in the morning and we left the snake in the kitchen waiting for him... nice present huh...

He took gardening sheers and picked it up by the neck... the thing was trying to strike... I was like KILL IT, CHOP ITS DAMN HEAD OFF. My dad quietly brought it outside and released him... I hate snakes... God I hate snakes.

Flash forward to college, I am 19... Playing some Neo Geo... Magical Drop 3 to be exact. Something catches my eye... SNAKE! Damn thing is slithering across the floor. My roomate takes care of it, it is just a little garden snake but I am freaked... He takes it outside...

DID I MENTION I HATE SNAKES... THEY NEED TO STOP HARRASING ME!

Anyway, back to your thread.

-Nick

1, 3 and 7.
3 is likely because you did say RELATIVELY attractive (IE not stunning)

Remember, everything is relative wink

If #6 is true WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T TURN HIM IN I'LL KICK J00R ASS!!!! not all felons are bad guys, I'm sure he jsut made a bad choice, and won't ever do it again, he's learned his lesson, believe me, he's scared shitless right now. He doesn't need to be caught, he's a changed man! Well, maybe if he screwed around and got you a bad grade on your project back in school, that'd be kinda funny then...

PS- SNAKES ARE FUCKING GAY!!!!!! KILL EM ALL!!!

Alright, surprise surprise. I'll now reveal the answers.

"
Story 1
As I was exiting my school through the Gym hallway, I stopped by the open gym door and saw the big gym with no lights on, and on the floor was an old man unconscious! I quickly called the police, they came, took him to the hospital, and called me a hero. I was just at the right place at the right time...
(no one else was around at this time in the afternoon, no classes scheduled at that time, remember this is a college)
"

For those of you who thought this was true... sorry but you're wrong. This didn't happen. What really happened was I *DID* see an old man sprawled out on the gym floor. I thought there was a chance he might be knocked out but one creaky step into the gym and he shoots up like a rocket. He was OK -- except for some yellow teeth.

"
Story 2
When I woke up this morning, I saw a small snake next to me on my bed! Its tongue was flicking wildily. I immediately pounced up and examined myself, ahem... and then took gloves and snatched up the disgusting thing in a bag and took it to the animal police.
"

Thankfully, this is FALSE. Only snake I saw in the morning was my brother.

"
Story 3
Today during lecture class, I sat way in the back and this relatively hot chick was next to me. After a while we talked some, and I realize she worships 2D gaming! She told me she even has a Neo Geo system hooked up and all! She told me when she's not shopping for makeup and shoes, she's playing games.
"

... Believe it? DON'T! It never happened. I just stared at her legs.

"
Story 4
An NBA Hall-of-Famer contacted me via email to ask me SPECIFICALLY to go out on town to do a certain task for him. I agreed, went out, did it, and reported back to him. I guess you could say I was a freelance reporter signed for five hours. One of the NBA's top 50 players thanked me gratefully when all was said and done.
"

The one no one dared to believe. Well, it's TRUE. I was asked by Hall of Famer Rick Barry if I could go out, find Shaquille O'Neal's Autobiography "SHAQ TALKS BACK," and see what exactly was the derogatory comments Shaq wrote in his book about Hall-of-Famer and one of the greatest free throw shooters of all time, Rick Barry. Why did he email me? Because I emailed first and said if he wanted me to, I'd go out and find those comments for him. I did, and he said he was very grateful of it. BELIEVE IT!

"
Story 5
When I took the bus home, it was me and 7 other people. Suddenly, this tough looking dude marches to the front of the bus mysteriously. He paces around a little, which prompted the bus driver to order the man to sit down. So he did begrudgingly. He was facing the windows and I was sitting facing his profile. In his jacket side hole, I spotted a gun! He had this crazy look in his eyes as well. So I immediately got off the next stop, and called the police immediately.
"

A tough looking guy did march up to the front of the bus mysteriously. Then he sat down. I caught a look at what was in his jacket. It was .... definitely not a gun. FALSE, and thank God.

"
Story 6
While surfing the local news today, I found out one of my old buddies is a wanted convict! We went to elementary school together, then I moved, and by coincidence we went to the same high school. We even worked together on a video project back in '99. Now he's a wanted fugitive and I am facing the question: should I call in or not....
"

True. Sadly, it's true. He's been missing for the last 10 days or so, his family has no clue where he is, and I don't know. Haven't seen him or talked to him since 2001. I don't have much useful info to provide the cops. They're looking for info on his whereabouts today, not my silly past history with him. He's being accused of murder. 20 years old. Tragic... however you slice it. Really pathetic too. I always knew he was a passionate guy, whether right or wrong... and apparently two parties clashed heads at midnight. Believe it.

"
Story 7
On my way home today on the bus, the bus smoked up during half my destination, and it really smelled bad. Finally the driver tells everyone to get the hell out immediately. We stood outside a busy road during heavy traffic. So cars stood there, with people looking at us and making wild hand gestures and asking if everything is ok. Meanwhile, I get in a conversation with a 30 year old something man who is running late on a job interview. Nice guy.
"

I really hope he gets that job... BELIEVE IT.

"
Story 8
I no longer like the World Heroes games
"

Come on! You should know better... NEVER! This is false.

So, in conclusion, stories 4, 6, and 7 are correct. I helped an NBA Hall-of-Famer via request, I experience a "bus meltdown," and an old friend of mine is being warranted for felony charges and has not been seen in over a week.

Thanks for watching, good night.

Same here. Except while I was staring another chick would have suddenly sat down next to me and started talking to me out of the blue, despite my attempt to be antisocial by siting far from the center of the lecture hall. Can't people have some respect for some good gawking?
