wtf???!!!

we lost power a little over an hour after i arrived at work this morning. a transformer servicing our area either blew, caught on fire or both. rather than sit in the dark we were told we could leave and we were to return when the power was restored.

i was on my way back to work friday afternoon when i saw, what i still cannot believe i saw.

i was heading west along highway 401, near trafalgar around 1 p.m. the westbound traffic was moving well but the same could not be said for the eastbound traffic. eastbound travelers seemed to be lined up like sheep, i can only assume that i happened to notice what i did because of the dense traffic.

in the eastbound lane, closest to the guardrail, was a man astride a white sport bike. it was not the fact that there was a rider that shocked me but it was the fact that sticking over the top of his helmet was a stem and a seat. as i pulled alongside the motorcycle my eyebrows disappeared into my hairline. it appeared that the dude was somehow transporting a unicycle! since westbound traffic was moving i didn't get a real good look but it appeared as though he somehow had the thing strapped to his body.

i have seen some strange things before but this by far was the strangest. i can't for the life of me imagine how he could even control the bike at highway speeds. i can honestly say it would not be anything i would be willing to try.
