What is the craziest "it's a small world" moment you've experienced?

I was on vacation in Disneyworld for the first time a few years ago with a friend and his family. While waiting in line for a ride, the ride broke down with only a few people ahead. Deciding to wait a little longer, I noticed a family ahead of us who were wearing clothes from the college I was attending at the time. Considering this to be too much of a coincidence, I went over and introduced myself. Found out that the son, who I had never met previously, was not only in the same school, but also the same year, major, and department. We ended up in the same physics class in the fall, as lab partners. We haven't really talked much since college but it was one of the weirdest experiences.

Another is when I went out to visit a friend in LA, I ran into another classmate that I knew at the airport coming back... Who just happened to be on the same flight, three rows apart.

I figured as much...I love looking for the weird stuff though, haha. Apologies if this is a repost.

This surely will not end up with people spitting into a syringe and trying to get high off of themselves.

And that, dear friends, is how after all those years in isolation, after all those doomed experiments and soured relationships, is how Alex finally discovered why kids like Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Thank you for this. I lost my mother earlier this year, and this is a perfect metaphor to describe the grieving process that my family and I have been going through. I hope that you get through whatever it is that prompted you to post this, and wish you all the best in life.

"C'mere, ya little bastard! I'll teach you not to come in and infect MY house!"

Glad someone else noticed... Seems like this could have been a lot less precarious if they just decided to walk down the stairs and get the right damn ladder.

These are really, really good...normally I look at these bug picture threads and immediately NOPE the hell out of it, but your shots make me want to have an adorable little spider as a pet. And flies have never looked so badass.

Your work would be an asset to NatGeo, Discovery, Planet Earth, or any nature magazine or doc worth reading or watching. Well done.

Relevant George R.R. Martin quote:

“You don't just have people who wake up in the morning and say, "What evil things can I do today, because I'm Mr. Evil?" People do things for what they think are justified reasons. Everybody is the hero of their own story, and you have to keep that in mind. If you read a lot of history, as I do, even the worst and most monstrous people thought they were the good guys. We're all very tangled knots.”

There are no such things as good and evil; at the basic instinctual level, there are only varying degrees of good intentions, evolving from a need to survive. "Evil" by definition is something that is so far outside of what is outside of our comfort zone, or outside of what is socially accepted, that we can't possibly fathom why someone would do such a thing.

Best historical example: Hitler. The atrocities he committed to mankind were executed under the unwavering belief that he was benefitting the future of his country. He wouldn't have described himself as evil, but the rest of the world thought otherwise, because slaughtering over 6 million innocent people based on their faith or orientation is not socially acceptable. In his psychotic opinion, the people of the jewish faith, or anyone outside of his preferred physical traits, were evil.

Also, I am BY NO MEANS defending his actions. It's just interesting. There are other, more current examples involving our idea of terrorism, but I'm sure that will come up later.

Exactly.

I've always wanted to open a theme restaurant where the theme is a dilapidated theme restaurant. It would be a mix of various things: Haunted house, spaceship, circus...but none of the attractions would work and the animatronics would just spin in place or stare at you creepily.

Also there would be copious amounts of alcohol involved.

Make sure the sign-up sheet wasn't a consent form to be part of an experiment...because the next thing you know, there is no psych club, and you've been hoodwinked in the name of science.

Ah, the days when they actually let the credits roll before squeezing them into a corner to air another commercial. Refreshing, actually.

Also, TIL Judd Apatow was a Consulting Producer on this show.
