I believe for me the weirdest thing that happened to me was just a few minutes ago.
I have a Comcast digital cable box. For some reason channels 3, 4, 6, and 8 possible others but I didn't check were are blacked out. The info bar said for all of them News, which all of them are on at 5 in the morning but for channel 6 which was Shepherd's Chapel in the morning, but it is my Fox 61 channel. So basicaly a news channel. The only other thing that these channels have in common are the fact they are all based out of Hartford. Channel 3 is CBS 3, 4 is NBC 30, 6 Fox 61, 8 ABC 8.
I went down stairs to my other tv which has no cable box, and they were all showing normaly. Turned off the cable box with no change, then I unplugged it only after that it would work.
I have no idea why it did that, but it was very weird to me.

If you look in OLD OLD catalogues from like Woolworth's and Sears from 1800's you might find something called a "prostate warmer" . (I didn't try it but it looks funny.) It looks like an adult novelty, BUT, (no pun intended) it is for men or women and it has an AC power cord!!!!
OMG/ I'll pass

If that's what it does to one's vision, I think I'll pass.

hearz yur anser, André......kwotid strate frum thuh mewseeum:
Prostate Gland Warmer, 1918
The prostate gland warmer promised to "stimulate the abdominal brain!" The device consists of a 4.25 inch probe and a blue light bulb in a socket on a nine foot cord.
When plugged in, the light bulb lit up..
