I found a five dollar bill once...not terribly unusual, but at the time I was unemployed and dead broke, I had a grand total of $3 to my name when I found the fiver. More than doubled my net worth!

Second story: back in college, I was riding home at dusk, it was just about dark. Up ahead there's dark figure standing by the side of the road. As I get closer, the figure turns to face me--and its eyes started glowing bright red! Momentarily spooked me--I didn't think I was THAT stoned at the time--but it turned out it was some kid wearing "sunglasses" that had tiny red lights on them to freak people out.
