Okay, so this morning I was talking to with a chum of mine and she says the weirdest thing I'd heard all day:
"You and God are a lot alike."
So that got me thinking: what do other people think is the weirdest thing? Or the funniest thing? Or the craziest, braniest, deepest thing?
What's the __est thing you've heard today?

[Cute]st Phrase I Heard Today: "Well, you're just full of vinegar today, aren't you?"
My Accounting teacher has all these cute little catch-phrases and, while they might not sound as amusing on here, it's prolly one of those "you have to be there" things. Whenever I'm being particularily scarcastic ((aka: always)) he tells me that I'm "full of vinegar".

The ignorant-est (grammatically incorrect, but in keeping with the -estness ) thing I heard today: basically that all people who have children born with Down Syndrome are not happy about having a child and feel it is a burden. Boo to the speaker of this statment working in a school with children and families!!

The frightening-est thing I've heard today:
"Sometimes torture is necessary for national security." -- Kid on NationStates website.

The funny-est thing I've heard today, from a friend who spun and nearly hit my car picking me up this morning, and pointed at the squirrely tracks in the street and said:
"Look, I brought you a doughnut."

Calculus-isms:
Mr O: "Well, I think it's pretty stupid. People'll argue that it's better to compound your money semi-annually rather than monthly but, as we just found out, it's only about a $7 difference a year." N: "But sir! You could buy, like, 7 packs of skittles for that!"
Mr O: "[after explaining how he spends his summer and how a golf handicap is calculated] I've got about a 15 handicap" A: "Wow, that must mean that I've got a 700 handicap!" G: "I must have a limit-as-x-approachs-infinity handicap!"

*chuckling* A few little gems from my past.
Dr. [Zeus]: Poor Theseus. Ariadne was really just stringing him along.
Dr. [Nietzsche]: I'd really rather you called me Jeff, not Dr. [Nietzsche] -- that's so formal. If you really need to be formal, "Your Majesty" or "Your Holiness" will do.
Dr. [Venezuela]: It is fine, go ahead. It is no hair off my back.

Strange-st thing I've heard today: a weird creaky noise that woke me up. Sounded a bit like fingernails on a chalkboard, or those packing peanut things squeaking against each other, but there was also a thump quality to it. But it was REALLY loud.
My hypothesis: my upstairs neighbour fell down the steps and landed on that kind of ice that squinchy-squeaks when you step on it?

I like this thread Fox! On the same note as En...sorta...maybe... Strangest thing I heard today: I woke up this morning to a really loud...screeching sound...but it was electroncial screeching...and it was my computer making it. I also heard someone say tell me to come open my presents...I must have been dreaming or something.

[Best]est Canadian Political Joke
(On the CBC) A Sepeartist group last night spray painted graffitti, like "Free Quebec" and "Anglos Go Home" in french, on a store wall last night. Reports say that the leader of the Bloq Quebecquois is particularily angered by this action, because it was smaller than some english graffitti that said "Bite Me"

Right, so I went into a store today and tried on a pair of pants (I need work clothes so they were like, for suits and stuff) and they were a bit tight (hehehe, too much going out and eating lately ) so the salesgirl who was like, attending to me said the most unintentionally offensive thing I heard today.
Instead of offering me a larger size or something, she said- "It's ok, all you need to do is go on a diet and lose a few kilos"

Most completely false-est thing I've heard today: my boss saying "I'm hurrying!" I haven't seen him hurry once in the four years I've known him -- except to get out of a roomful of people sharing birthday cake
Silly-est thing I've heard in the last 24 hours: the guy who plays Wormtail saying, during the "making of" specials on the extended Two Towers DVD, something to the effect of "I tried to spit on Viggo's hand for real, but it was so windy on that hill that as soon as the spit got out of my mouth, it made a sharp left."
