The Awful Forums - My mother is insane (~5M of photos):
"One time I ran out of toothpaste or floss or something, so I opened the medicine cabinet looking for more. Instead, I found the bathroom cabinet full of my old prescription bottles. I then realized I'd never thrown a prescription bottle away, I'd get new ones, and the old ones had just disappeared. I'd never thought about it. I confronted my mom, and she told me she was keeping hers too, and was saving them to cut the labels off so the prisoners wouldn't know what medications we were on. I told her that was crazy, and that I was going to throw mine away. A few days later I went to do that, only to find they were all gone. Mom took them all, and hid them in a box somewhere so I couldn't throw them away. They were out of my way, so I didn't pursue it any further. I make sure to throw my old bottles away now though."

Making Light: Slushkiller:
"I still remember my surprise on encountering the line: 'then he parted the twin nodes of her clitoris'. That one made me wince, and I'm not even female. As a way of signalling the protagonist is having sex with either an alien or a mutant, the line has possibilities, but this was meant to be a physically normal human woman, alas."

The Baltimore Fire (Imagination): American Treasures of the Library of Congress:
"In 1904 a blaze spread through downtown Baltimore and took thirty hours to extinguish. More than 1500 buildings in eighty-six city blocks were destroyed; $150 million in damages was incurred, but no loss of life. "
