What's the odds of your main gallery picture showing up on the home page at sign on?
Wow,
I worked on my fence all day, logged onto to the site and there was a picture of my truck from my gallery. Now what are the odds of that ever happening to an F-150 online member? Those odds must be a billion to one since the pictures are randomly selected from member's galleries.
Sometimes I think I should have tried my hand at gambling since the weirdest things seem to happen to me.
Once, when I was in college, I was working on a complex computer program to rotate a solid object in 3-D space using vector equations and as I hit the execute button, I thought that I might cause the mainframe computer to crash if I get the program stuck in an infinite loop. At the precise instant I hit the enter key, the lights in the whole building went out and all the computers in the lab shut down. I said, oh crap, and I got my bags and ran out of the lab. As I got down the stairs, out of the building and out on the street, everyone was looking around trying to figure out what had happened and I said nothing. A few minutes later, the campus police showed up and they told everyone that a car hit a power pole down the street and clipped it such that it came down and took out all the power on the block.
Now, how freaking weird is that, and what are the chances of that happening to someone? It seems as if weird crap like that has happened to me throughout my life. What about you?
Later,

Well, a good one happened to me just a few months ago.
Part of my job is to test protective devices on electrical power systems. So I'm at a rather large, government-funded radio transmitting station setting up my gear to start testing. There I am, with all my gear spread out and I've got the door to the main breaker feeding the whole place open. At this point all I'm doing is filling out my test sheets with the information on the devices I've got to test when I hear the main breaker open.
So here comes entire facility maintenance crew running wondering what the heck I did. I finally convinced them they really had a problem and the trip wasn't accidental, but I guess I did look somewhat guilty out there.

I think your chances are greatly increased if ya have a chick in a bikini or scantily clad standing next to your truck....after all this is a male dominated website right?

After going to all the trouble of finding a bikini that small and getting it to stay in one spot long enough to snap the pic.
Steve, got a call from the SPCA and the photo was yanked.

Wonder if a piglet in a bikini would work?
The SPCA don't care about piglets, do they?

Ahh, that rules out my next mod. I was going to have a pair of Speedo's airbrushed with a picture of my truck on the ***.




). Heck, my photos should be showing up every third time or so...
