1. When I was a kid I was swimming by the edge of a pool, and a heavy set five-year-old cannonballed on my face. I got knocked into the water and the force of her weight took my goggles right off.

2. My tennis coach were was demonstrating how to hit the ball at the apex of a toss, and he held the ball up against the fence and I was standing behind him. He swung the racquet back and nailed me right in the lower jaw.

When I was a kid it took me 2-3 weeks to beat the Flight School mission series in GTA: San Andreas, and although I hated nearly every minute of it I did become a better video game flier.

I don’t recall hearing anyone on the floor (this was in a college dorm), but the best guess I have is that reverberations from a footstep/knock/etc knocked the cups over. Other than that, I’ve got nothing.

I don’t like picking a favorite piece of art, but I am a big fan of “Eton schoolboy jumping a motorbike”. It contains a lot of concepts that I love: Youth, rebellion, freedom, excitement, the UK, the sixties, fashion, and classic motorcycles.

I was facing a wall shelf with a stack of hard plastic cups wedged into it, and when I turned away from the shelf I heard the cups fall to the floor. Based on how tightly they were wedged in there’s no way they could’ve fallen on their own. Although there was an open window that was adjacent to it there’s no way that a breeze could’ve knocked them over, and even if someone on the lower floor punched the wall it wouldn’t have knocked the cups down. Nothing else happened in that room that was out of the ordinary.

Although I’m still a skeptic, I don’t have a reasonable explanation for this one.
