Reveal the most random fact about yourself.

I still remember the word I missed at the regional spelling bee when I was a kid. I thought he said Italy. It was giddily.
 
Collection

I have a Dyson V 11 addiction ....... twice a day :)

That sound like something too Dyson for ...I could not resist ...

I have a collection of old Hammers from beyond ,,, found at Renovations and Demos
 
In college I was asked to not asked anymore science classes by two of my professors (I tended to accidentally set things on fire :eek: )
 
I've never been able to get through more than five minutes of Forest Gump. I just don't get the appeal.
 
Few things brighten my day faster or more thoroughly than a dog hanging it's mug out the window of a moving car, tongue lolling in pure joy.
 
I amazed that most consider me so strong and having such a powerful sense of self worth. I’m I actually kind of scared to do things and try to break out of that fearful shell daily with small challenges daily or weekly.
 
I am incapable of seeing a Corgi walk by without starting to sing Low Rider under my breath
 
I was on vacation with my then-wife about 30 years ago and we went to a public swimming pool. I didn't have swim trunks, but we both thought it'd be OK if I just went in my short pants. They had a high dive that nobody was using, so I decided to try it myself. I'd just jump at first, then I'd do a flip, etc. Each time, I noticed I was being watched by more and more people. Since nobody else was using the high dive, I just assumed they were curious about my using it.

Then I started getting a few claps of appreciation. Very heady stuff, I tell you. When I was done I went over to my wife and asked if she'd watched - and had she heard the applause I was getting?

Her answer: Yes, I did. They all noticed that your white shorts turn transparent when they are wet.
 
I’ve never finished grade school, high school or college at the same school I started.
 
I have been used like a guinea pig by unconventional therapists experimenting with hallucinogens as an alleviant to common and pervasive ailments. But only because I thought it was a worthy and promising pursuit, mind you.
 
I've been trying to write a novel for about the last five years. I can't focus long enough to get more done. :(
 
I can do that also because I was born cross eyed.
I had surgery to correct it , robbing me of my depth perception.

Me too. Badly. Three surgeries before I was two years old. Had to wear eye patches on alternating eyes as well. Another surgery when I was 12.
In addition to not fabulous depth perception, I also have negligible binocular vision. So, no 3D glasses for me. And my right eye is dominant, so the left eye likes to wander off to the side. So much fun.

That makes 3 of us. I still have monocular vision after 3 operations

I attended the United Nations School in NYC with the world's ambassador's kids in 1st and 2nd grade even though neither of my parents was an ambassador and I was an American child living in NYC.
