All potatoes in Ireland died because they had nothing to eat.

Murphy Brownback posted:Some scholarships require a 2.5-3.0 average, but it's still clearly made up. Judging by how dirty the carpet is, the potatoes and pill bottles were laying there the whole time and the dog has been sitting there staring at them wanting to go outside for the past hour.

Pipistrelle posted:Yeah I saw this one in the cute pictures thread and thought it might be believable until it got to the part about not owning potatoes. I read an article about a person who had a service dog because they have epilepsy. The dog could sense when they were going to have a seizure before it happened and could get the person to a safe place. They talked about one time they were going to have a seizure in a store, so the dog took them to the aisle with the styrofoam to-go containers, because in the dog's mind that mean treats which means safe. I assumed this story was similar, in that the dog's mind made some weird connection with potatoes=good or something. But then they just had to go and be all lol rAndOM! OMG. That was me and my late, great seizure alerter Mia. Mia knew those white boxes held everything good, so she took me to them for safety. I lost her in August to a brain aneurysm. She was 15.

This woman, who has had a legit career, apparently is a high functioning crazy person. She answers someone's quora question for true scary stories with this: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-creepiest-thing-that-has-ever-actually-happened-to-you/answer/Michealene-Cristini-Risley - someone (APPLE?) sends a kill voltage through her phone - someone (Tim Cook?) snuck into her house and put a post-it note warning on her letter to Apple complaining about the phone - she decided to give up making documentaries because of this unknown threat

"My cheap iPhone car charger zapped me and APPLE didn't do anything about it because it wasn't made by them. Clearly, this means APPLE or an international syndicate is trying to kill me."

She wants me to get the puppy ready, too, so she can come home and nap. Although she's already picked up on the seizure alerting, the puppy just wants to be a whirling dervish of PLAY.

Gradesquote:This troper had a friend during school who received relatively poor grades. You wouldn't know it if you met him, though. He had enough charisma and 'people skills' to run for public office and win without any political campaigning. He also was a master at games of strategy, having once ranked 57th in the world at an Axis & Allies tournament... when he was eleven. Write quote:This troper, who lacks a page, fits into this fairly well. He's been told, repeatedly, that he's a very smart cookie, has an incredible memory for facts (trying not to seem arrogant, if I am, sorry), and so on. However, he couldn't care less about his school work anymore; he's in his final year, about to graduate, and for the past three years has more or less gotten by on the ability to type quickly the night before. His parents have been told by a teacher that if his intelligence was combined with any other student in her class's diligence she'd have a superstudent. Oh, he also once managed to pull a mark of within the high ninety percents on knowledge without doing any of the required reading or even the needed excursion based on 30 minutes of chat in class. Twice. In two different subjects. Which he barely paid attention in, preferring to sit and think of stories to write than do work. Teen quote:We must be related. I'm a Teen Genius (with a case of Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny) who sleepwalked through elementary and most of middle school and still got A's and B's (they apparently considered having me skip the fifth grade, but decided against it because I had behavior issues — in retrospect, doing so would probably have done me a lot of good, but I was too naïve to question their decision at the time). I'd always been an underachiever due to laziness, but this wasn't really a problem up until my school-skipping habit hit critical mass in eighth grade and I mainly just passed the year because it was more convenient for all involved than holding me back. That was three years ago, and it's only gotten worse since then; this has turned me into a nervous wreck who holds herself together through sheer force of will alone.
