Then you should consider it.
Lol phinds!

I think this may be the lie. Your background seems to be EE and this strikes me as a more mechanical element.phinds said:(4) I designed the "toilette seat in space", which is the end-cover of the Hubble Space Telescope, in the early 1970s (can't remember the exact year)

I hate the four character limit.
Great story!phinds said:They were not amused and asked what I suggested. I said, just put a toilette seat on it. That caused some red-faced sputtering on the part of a couple of the senior people who thought maybe I was kidding, but their sputtering kind of trailed off, eventually, into something like, "oh, yeah, that would work". And so it does.

DennisN said:Yeah, great story! You're not sh***ing us, are you? And a really fun idea for a thread, this one . I'm trying to come with some weird stuff myself, but loo and behold, it won't even come close to putting a toilet seat up in space.
Really fun!phinds said:This is a true story and I love having it.

Well, there are no toilet seats in my stories, but I tried to come up with some weird stuff to ponder:
1. I tried to pass customs with a newly hot-wired car, and I was brought into custody for four hours, and had to strip naked in front of the police.
2. I've accidentally set a house on fire with fireworks I made myself.
3. I have a Nazi Christmas calendar from 1941 in pristine condition, and a Nazi party badge.
4. I've been on an icy roof four floors up, where I lost balance and started gliding towards the edge, but I managed to get a hold before I fell down.
lisab said:Wow. Hard decision, but I'm going to guess #2.
DennisN said:Amazing. You guessed right .
1. The car was hot-wired because the ignition-starter switch (I think that's the correct term) had broken down a couple of miles before customs. So they took me and my friend into custody and searched (for drugs, I suppose) the entire car with dogs and gear. I remember I heard them disassemble a lot of stuff on the car. Actually it was a bit extra distressing, since we had been to Amsterdam, and I got afraid that someone else maybe had planted something in the car. But they found nothing, so there were no problems.
2. Lie. I've never made my own fireworks, nor burnt down any house.
3. True. Got the calendar from a German friend who collect historical stuff, I was very happy, since I'm interested in history. I'm not sure if the Nazi party badge actually is authentic, but it looks authentic. I bought it from some antique shop.
4. True. This was of course a terrible experience, and I don't know why I was so stupid that I went up on an icy roof. The roof was actually not very slanted, but it was enough to make me glide towards the edge on all fours.
Make em dance:Gad said:Lol Zshoe.
What would you do with 11 hammers?
zoobyshoe said:1.) I own at least 11 different versions of The Goldberg Variations.

Gad said:I had a good laugh @ the hammers dance answer. OK Zshoe, I'll follow your steps :p
1- I had a car accident 10 weeks ago.
2- I didn't blink for a straight 10 minutes.
3- A needle stayed inside my foot for at least 10 days.
4- 10 guys asked for my hand.
Guess the lie.
Gad said:That's right! :)
lisab said:1. I once literally ran into a moose.
2. I have a very poor sense of taste due to a tongue injury.
3. I slipped and fell on a banana peel in front of a crowd of people when I was in middle school.
4. I have had an iPhone for over 5 years, yet have never bought an app.
You can only guess one.Borg said:I don't think that it's number 1 unless she hit one in the last five days. I'll round out the guesses with number 4. No apps for you lisab! :tongue:
Evo said:Nope, #1 is also true. Sorry, I corrected above, #3 is false. I did learn CPR, luckily never had to use it.
Next!
I meant that I didn't think that number 1 was the lie because she had already stated that it was true. I have no idea why I wrote that sentence the way that I did.zoobyshoe said:You can only guess one.
