Alright, my psychic mini-experiment is on. At 5pm EST (about 50 minutes from now) I'll concentrate on an object in my presence for 3 minutes. Your task is to tell me something (anything) about this object.
I'm in an office cube in Okemos, MI. After giving people 5 minutes or so to post their impressions, I'll reveal the object of my attention. The countdown is on people! Remember to take off your tinfoil hat, or this may not work.
That was creepy. I actually was occupied at 5 and couldn't concentrate on anything (or post about it anyway) but I would love it if you did another such experiment.

So has anyone seen the commercials for the next set of "8 films to Die for"? Seems like one of them involves those Shadow People from WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back in the begining of the thread.
Sigh. The computer lab i'm in just emptied. I'm now alone at 4:13 AM in a large, quiet and seemingly empty dorm watching the scary films previously mentioned. Double sigh.

I know its total Bogus, but I looked at your pic and was just randomly flashing images in my minds eye and a recurring image of you holding a single reeses pieces candy keep going through my mind.
Odd that the real object was chocolatety, peanut buttery, and yummy.

I did eat a peanut butter cup over lunch yesterday. And it was yummy.
About a month ago, I ordered a Triops kit from ThinkGeek. In case you don't know what a Triops is, they're like Sea Monkeys, but they can grow quite big and I think they're a lot cooler. They look like this. (They're quite creepy, but that's not the creepy part).
I just wanted to try it out and see if it was cool...I never had sea monkeys when I was a kid, so maybe that's why I was interested in it. Regardless, it worked, of course, and I had a few hatch, but only one survived for more than two weeks. He grew pretty damn big, and then this morning I noticed him tail up on the bottom of the tank (also, I noticed a new hatchling swimming around, so it laid its eggs before it died!).
I tell my girlfriend about it, and we started halfway joking about giving him a burial, and we decided to do it. We didn't really have anything to bury him in, but we did have this coconut shell, so I lined it with paper towels, put him in there and closed it up. I nailed two pieces of wood together to make a little cross with his name written on it (sometimes I have this thing I do where I go over the top for no real reason), and then I go outside. I grab a shovel, pick a good spot, shove it into the ground, and...
A huge clap of thunder. The first I heard all day.
Alright. I move the dirt, then go get the coconut to see if the hole's big enough. It's kinda shallow, so I kick the shovel into the ground again.
Another clap of thunder, fucking louder this time, right as I do it.
This is getting creepy, but...I can't stop now, right? The hole needs to be a little bit deeper. So I kick the shovel again.
Lightning, right above my head, an even louder clap of thunder, and then it starts pouring down rain.
I toss the coconut into the hole, kick dirt over it and run the fuck inside.
Penny Arcade, did I just unknowingly commit some sort of occult ritual?
It seems more likely, to me, that you were unknowingly attempting to bury some kind of Triop god. Have you checked to see if it was really dead? Or if it has since come back to life / unlife?
On a related note, Triops are fucking creepy in themselves. I'd never heard of them till you linked that Wiki article, and now I wish I could un-see them.
I'm deathly afraid of any and all kinds of stinging insects so something like that would probably make me petrified with fear. But excellent work with the wasp genocide.
Actually that Triops probably wasn't even dead. Most swimming sea creatures (I'm pretty sure this includes Triops) all have a 'swim bladder' full of air with which they check their balance, and control their buoyancy.
It's common for people who own sea creatures as pets to overfeed them. This results in them getting constpated and filling up with gas, thus making them way too bouyant and floating to the surface, unmoving. People often mistake them for dead, and many fish are actually killed this way.
Best thing for it is to just leave it for a few days without food. It'll likely just get better and start swimming naturally again. If it doesn't after such a period, then yeah, it's dead.
Either way, your Triops may not be dead.
It may be outside.
Angry.
Waiting for you.
Man, that Toothpick Fish website doesn't work for me at all. It loads the no images, no colors/fonts, barely any links version of what looks to be a blog.

Possible, but...I mean, when I was trying to get him out of the tank with the scoop, he was casually floating all over the place in a definitely dead way.

It's a little fish that tracks fish by their urine residue in the water then swims into their gills, anchors with its spines, gnaws at an artery, swells up with blood, then swims away. The problem is that sometimes when a farmer goes into the water and takes a leak, the toothpick fish can't tell the difference, so attacks the urethra.
Oh, and that the fish gorges itself so much that it can't get out of your penis, and so you you spend an excruciating 3 days waiting for surgery or waiting for some "home remedy" to work it's magic.

I HOPE that was fake. It always made sense to me and scared me (if they exist, which I hope they don't)that "extraterrestrials" were really just from a different dimension. If that's the case, that would be easier and more plausible than space travel. That clip had some really scary and interesting bits, especially the part where he talks about "the precursor to the space program" making contact with the evil beings. Every conspiracy theory under the sun talks about aliens blending in and taking control that way, but that too makes more sense than an ID4 invasion :P because it would be much easier than fighting a long war.

You nearly had me, though.

I am never ever getting french doors installed.
aren't kit kats peaunt butter between the wafers? Or am I completely mistaken?
edit: Nope I'm wrong, just delicious wafers
I do recall there being a "with peanut butter" form of Kit Kat, but the originals aren't.

Also good story Taximes.
Quite possibly the best response ever.

I was around when that shit happened, Ground Zero. At the time It had not been dis-proven. I watched the video.
Was so sketched-out, paranoid and just generally scared for the rest of the night.
However, its progression was interesting to say the least.

I'm sorry, but there's only one water-born creature that scares the living Christ out of me.
