Brains! We didn't steal them!

You know how sometimes you see something small or weird and kind of shrug it off and don't really make much of it. And then somebody else sort of mentions it in passing and you go like DUDE!!! I TOTALLY SAW THAT TOO!...

OK...so, we are in Thessaloniki for the weekend, taking a walk along the street that runs along the edge of the sea. We see a group of people on the other side of the street, three old guys sitting on a park bench and about six ladies running toward them, each of them holding one green thing in each hand.


We've never seen these things before and don't know what they are. Neither, apparently, do these ladies. As we approach them, one of them shouts (in Bulgarian): They fell from the tree! We don't know what they are, but they're free! We didn't steal them!

?????!!?!?!??!!!?!?

We come back and are checking out our dear friend Elena's photostream on flickr, because we know she'd just spent the weekend in D.C. Guess what SHE found?!


She titled them BRAINS.

I am not religious but things like this definitely make me think that there must be some kind of an energy out there that connects us all. And that IT has some pretty fuckin' awesome sense of humor.
