The point of this forum is that there is no point. It is pointless. However, many times, pointless things are fun. So the idea is simple. Basically, keep an eye out for wierd weird wierd (this WORD is weird!) things in your everyday life. They might be obvious, like your brother coming down the stairs in sunglasses, overalls, suspenders and a tie at the same time, or less so, like a strange structure in the park that appears to have no obvious function other than to look creepy. Then either post a link to a model where you can try to recreate the weird, or simply describe it in the comments. IMPORTANT To make a Weird an OFFICIAL Weird, you must list the appropriate category before describing the Weird. You may add a sub-category to an actual category, like this: Ex. Weird Someone Else (my sister) or like this: Ex. Weird Me/Baby Me. At the end of every month, I or my secretary will post the honor roll of the weirdest occurrences, and name the "W.E.I.R.D.E.S.T. of the month" to the person with the weirdest- whatever. You know what I mean. (W.E.I.R.D.E.S.T.=Weirdest Existing Individual of Real-life Discoveries Except for Sally Thally.)

Categories of Weirds: 
  1. Weird me. ***Ex. "Last night I dreamed the weirdest dream about the Bobbsey Twins and a house full of china cabinets..."

  2. Weird someone else. Ex. "Today my brother was singing the weirdest song about gouda..."

  3. Weird us. Ex. "The other day me and my sister tied up the weirdest..."

  4. Weird animals. Ex. "My dog lays on the floor in the weirdest way..."

  5. Weird natural occurrences. Ex. "The weirdest thing happened because of the derecho..."

  6. Weird structures. Ex. "In the park there is the weirdest shiny, gray box..."

  7. Weird facts. Ex. "It's the weirdest thing: goosebumps are actually..."

  8. Weird anything else I forgot. Ex. You fill in here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Rules:

  9. No cussing.

  10. No inappropriate,
    discriminating, or rude
    pictures/conversation/models etc.

  11. Only post links to models, pictures, etc. where you have recreated the weird, unless you have asked for and received permission from one of the three users in charge (listed above). In that case, comment that you have permission to post whatever it is you're posting, or a bunch of people might jump on your back.

  12. Think before you Type. Try not to get into unnecessary arguments.

  13. Chat! and

  14. Keep it weird!

Duties of the President: Post the honor roll, W.E.I.R.D.E.S.T., etc., welcome new members, comment on everything, like everything, die laughing.

Duties of the Secretary: Pretty much nothing. Or everything no-one else does and what the President does when the President is absent. Depends on how Wiz is feeling.

Duties of the W.E.I.R.D.E.R.: The job is in the name! (See above.) Also mediates arguments, if any ensue.

                                                                   W.E.I.R.D.E.S.T. SO FAR!! (Drumroll, please)

@Yerachmiel_15: Even though Yerach is unfortunately no longer on Mecabricks, he is considered an honorary member. 😉

*No offense to anyone with a hippopotamus username, and see page 244 to find out where the hippo reference even comes from.

***All examples come from real life experiences or facts.
****My apologies if the numbers of Weirds per person are inaccurate, it becomes hard to keep track of all of them. I will try to do a complete update and count ALL the Weirds of the month at the end of each month.


NOTE: Unfortunately, myself (TallGirl2006) and my brother (SlimBrick1) are no longer on the social side of Mecabricks. This means that while we still post models, we no longer comment, PM (Private Message), or post in the forums. Thus, as you can see, our Presidential and Secretarial duties have been passed down to other users, who are listed at the beginning of this post. This also means that I can no longer edit my original comment, the one you're reading right now, to keep track of members' Weirds and anything else I might normally. If you would still like to keep scores and other such things, please ask the current President or Secretary to copy and paste this comment and update and re-post it. Sorry, and thank you! Lots of love.

P.S. If you are a user new to this page and have just read this comment for the first time, and decided to join, get on here and tell all the lazy members to post an actual Weird every now and then instead of just making small talk about totally boring stuff like Joe Biden!!!! Really? Politics?
Seriously though, this forum is meant to be a super pointless escape from the hum-drum of life, where everyone can just be incredibly weird with fellow nerds, geeks, weirdos, and everything in-between. So go be a good example and post a Weird. (See Weird guidelines above.) 😄

Random Unrelated Question:
The christian God is said to have created the sun on the 4th day. But if God created the Sun on the 4th day, how were the days up to that point counted?

Also, I reached 1K views! Thanks!

I don't exactly know the answer, but I'd say that time, while related to the orbit of the Earth around the sun, is not dependent on it. Sure, a day is 24 hours because it takes 24 hours for the sun to rise and fall, but there is a lot of debate between Christians and religious folk as to how long those days were. Way I see it, the English Bible is a translation of a translation of a translation of a translation etc. So, of course, there has to be some interpretation to God's word, despite how much people say that changing the words of the Bible is heresy. Think about it, put a sentence in google translate and translate it into 15 languages. Go on. Tell me how messed up it is. That's how I see it.

Did mepink spam pg 650?

@Sebachie- Amen, brother.

@M&M- Yeah . . ?

@Sebachie - You don't want to know what I got by simply putting in "I like apples" in 15 different languages…
Coming to think of it... wouldn't it be better to understand if christians did it like jews? - they learn the language in which their holy texts are originally written in.

They do actually several trained professors have translated the texts and my dude, I have personally read several different translations (older and newer) and they. Are. The. Same. Several people like to believe that it's like a game of telephone but it's not gtg now, I'll be happy to go into depth more later

yea my dad and sister know greek and never say much stuff is different in the bible

hey my private school forces us to learn greek so we can read the New Testament in greek

@Fireblade28, not exactly what I was trying to say. 😕

What I meant is that... erm, take for example Latin. Many of the words in Latin mean different things depending on the context and subject of conversation, as is true for many other languages. Take for example the English word "sword". In Latin, there are (off the top of my head) 4 different words for sword, those being "gladius" "ferrum" "ensis" and "telum". According to google, gladius alone can mean sword, murder, death, gladiatorial combat, ploughshare, or plowshare. Ferrum can mean iron, sword, steel, plough, plow, or crowbar. Ensis means only sword but can only be used in certain situations. And telum can mean weapon, arrow, missile, dart, spear, or sword.

Why do I bring this up? What I'm trying to get at is that a single word in any language, current or dead, can have many different translations under different contexts. And, the way I see it, we don't know the true context of the Bible, specifically the Old Testament, because we only have one perspective, one viewpoint. For example, take the many metaphors of Jesus' teachings. We know Jesus doesn't literally mean these things because of the context provided amongst the three synoptic gospels, where events happen similarly. While I understand the Bible is the Word of God, I also understand it is written through the hand of man.

Also, for an example as per there being multiple translations of the Bible... look at Genesis 1:6

New Living: Then God said, “Let there be a space between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth.”
King James: And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
Amplified: And God said, “Let there be an expanse [of the sky] in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters [below the expanse] from the waters [above the expanse].

While yes, they practically mean the same thing, there are many ways to take it. (Compare New Living and King James for example)

@Leatho, a very good point! The simple answer is that, people are lazy, they think that learning something in English is enough; they are ignorant to that other tongue. Not many people care anymore I suppose.
