Default Re: The most improbable thing you\'ve ever seen?

i've done and witnessed many amazing things in my life. here is the most recent:

the other day around 3am i was sitting on the couch with my roommate watching ali g. i was a little out of it at the time. i had a beer cap in my hand, but i was just palming it.

for no reason i decide to wing it at this cheeto-s bucket up by the tv stand, as hard and as fast as i could. it takes a sick flight pattern and drains in almost unseen it was moving so quick.

we are amazed by this, and i jump off the couch. my friend is amazed, and then more amazed as i am showing him how i was palming it with another cap.

standing even further away, i now wing this one as hard as i possibly can just in the general direction of the bucket. it takes a sick flight path and dings in as well and we go crazy.

we estimate that if i threw 100 caps from the first spot at top speed i would be lucky to make 1 of them. from the second spot, maybe 1 in 500. so it was ~50,000 - 1 against draining them both 2/2.

i decided that night it would be best to not throw another beercap at the bucket at top speed, because if it went in, our heads would have exploded.

i may give it a go later tonight though. maybe it is a latent superpower.
