You've done what???

From

Post 3 things you've done in your lifetime that you don't think anybody else on your friends list has done.
See if anybody else responds with "I've done that." If they have, you need to add another! (2.b., 2.c., etc...)
Have your friends cut & paste this into their journal to see what unique things they've done in their life.

OK, here goes. Probably no one will be surprised:

1. Last year I started with just thread and made myself an entire shirt, weaving the cloth, cutting and sewing it, finishing by hand.

2. I've stood in the elephant pen at a major zoo and been snuffled by two elephants. One of them had whatever passes for a cold if you're an elephant. It was a bit messy.

3. I've hiked from one end of Isle Royale National Park (an island in Lake Superior) to the other, covering a meandering ground distance of about 85 miles, in under seven days. En route we stood close enough to a moose to reach out and touch it and slept close enough to a fox to share his fleas.

3a. (was 4, but

linnaeus matched me) I've spent the entire night in a frigid dairy barn, recording the number of times a cow pee'd, pooped, or drank water, and counting how many times it chewed, as well as taking its temperature and pulse every hour. It was COLD! Fortunately dozens of friendly barn cats all wanted to be in my lap at once.

Here are a couple of backup things, in case someone chimes in with "I've done that!"

5. I've read the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in the original language.

6. I've traced my genealogical descent back as far as Charlemagne, and thus, by implication, to his recorded ancestry that goes back to the Roman Empire of the 2nd century. (Of course, this assumes that all the way back through 60 generations or so, no one ever lied about who the father was. If you think that likely, I suspect you are truly naive.) OK,

tinbender matched this one. But since it's not one of the top three, I'm just leaving it at that.

Go ahead, tell us what you've done.
