Tag your posts weirdscience, and feel free to share them in this thread. FILL MY LIFE WITH WEIRD SCIENCE, MEFI! (Can I say it's part of our FUNdraising month? Too dad-jokey?)

Today's question comes courtesy of last night's Portland Oregon meetup, specifically from Phire and LoRichTimes visiting from Canada. It's a mixed-up weekend because of Easterlings (Eyebrows is out of the office), so I'm kicking this sucker off early because why not. As always, these are conversation starters, not conversation limiters, so feel free to gab about anything that's on your mind -- just not politics. tag:metatalk.metafilter.com,2017:site.24410 Sat, 15 Apr 2017 13:09:21 -0800 bad community kitchen metatalktail obnoxious weird worst wrong LobsterMitten My first MeFi dream http://metatalk.metafilter.com/24311/My%2Dfirst%2DMeFi%2Ddream So, do any of you have dreams involving MetaFilter? I just did. I had a dream that I discovered that <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/user/77819">wenestvedt</a>'s house was next door to my office. Except my office was located on the street my apartment is on, and he looked very suspiciously like my actual next-door neighbor. But there was a cozy little sign on his lampost saying "wenestvedt", so I asked him if he was the MeFite by that name, and he said yes. The best part of the dream was that, after our chat, I came back inside and posted here on MetaTalk (where I've never posted before) about our encounter. I probably would not have posted this but for that detail, but now I kind of have to, right? tag:metatalk.metafilter.com,2017:site.24311 Mon, 16 Jan 2017 07:28:26 -0800 dream weird kevinbelt wtfwitter? http://metatalk.metafilter.com/21326/wtfwitter Pretty sure an admin is not responsible for this. But: can anybody explain the existence of the <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/metawtfilter">MetaWTFilter</a> twitter account?

It's amazing that people have entertained this post with 100+ replies, but are we being fooled? Young male wants to send a special something to a young woman he likes...even despite the circumstances he mentioned. OKAY. But a friggin' BANJO??? Especially with him saying that it would be hot to see her playing it under a tree. I don't know about this. At least where I'm from, banjos are taken as a joke in just about any context.

Several theories were put forth, but then the tea tree oil toothpicks distracted us from writing a formal paper to submit to an appropriate peer-reviewed journal. He's been spending the last few weeks emailing me whenever he sees these "twin threads" (my term, not his).
