    The 'heart of the ocean' in my pocket when my rescue ship docked in New York!

    A few years ago I found a snake in the corridor of my apartment block. I called the dspca and gave a description, it was about 2 ft long, all black snake (it looked like stretched out bicycle tubing - which is what i hoped it was - but it wasnt).

    The dspca said it was probably a rat snake, not poisonous. They wanted me to try catch it in a pillow case....eh...no friggin way. Some neighbours were emerging from their apartments and one of them tried to catch it and the flipping thing went nuts.

    Luckily the dspca arrived and caught it. Turns out one of the lads had moved apartment and somehow 'lost' the snake in the move. It had come out looking for food.

    That was a weird morning.

    I found a real looking bullet half encased in a bronze coloured plasticy type material, I never worked out what it was or why it was in the garden.

    Leitrim.





    As for the fish, my money is on a heron dropping it as it flew over your house.

    Well to be honest, I rang them and asked what would be the best thing to do. They insisted on picking it up and I'm glad they did.

    Cocaine covered in piss in a Galway "restaurant" establishment.

    I found a WW1 Victory Medal when I was sorting through some stuff following a death in the family. It was awarded to a distant relative of mine. When I researched it abit, it turns out they're pretty common and were awarded for purely turning up, but its still cool though!

    When the person from the DSPCA transfered it into the bucket it started swimming around. I hope it's alright.

    I was in my friends house when I was about 5. We found a German Shepherd's paw..it only struck me as strange (and disturbing) a few years later. :confused:

    A cow head.

    Could have been worse, a horses head at the end of your bed. :eek:

    I once found a Japanese Pokemon card up in the Wicklow mountains. First and only Japanese card I've ever seen in person.

    years ago at a sleepover out in the countryside we snuck out at night and went to a graveyard down the road [back in the days when every sleepover involved watching The Craft probably] and in there we found a dice [die, whatever] as if from a boardgame BUT it had really weird symbols on each side. one was an eye, one was the symbol for radiation, one was a baby's bottle.... it was so random and freaked the **** out of us! one of my friend's still gets really pissed off if i bring it up !!!


    if anyone happens to know what it's from i'd love to hear -it's an unsolved mystery!


    update: i just googled "strange dice".... and though i couldnt find the exact one, i found similar things... i think it's a dungeons and dragons/some kind of RPG thing.. mystery semi-solved maybe...

    Found a smackhead passed out (strapped up, with a needle still in his arm) in the toilets of a fast food restaurant overseas a few years ago.

    I rang the DSPCA this morning and asked about the fish. I'm glad to say it's doing well and is swimming around normally. Yay!

    Found a business man having a w*nk in Burger King on Grafton St. before. He wasn't even in a cubicle or anything, just standing over the urinal wearing a suit and tugging the life of himself. Honest to god in was the most disgusting thing ever!!

    "a business man" eh? Your username leads me to think it may have been someone else...

    I found a Spock teddy (teddy-like body with a hard head) in a car boot sale kinda thingy years ago. Best day ever.

    the irony is not lost on me! :rolleyes:

    i'd have been a bit more private than him tho (move to the cubicle/stop when other people step up to the urinal next to him!)

    Pair of badly bronzed knickers, festooned with thick gowl gravy and smelling of blown haddock beside me in the bed of a Sunday morning.

    OH.MY.GOD:eek:
