The only bizarre and inexplicable thing that has occurred to me in the last week is that I fell into a canal in Venice. It was definitely somewhat stunning, but I have yet to figure out how to view it as a stroke of genius. I suppose if I were Archimedes I'd have climbed back out and shouted "Eureka", but as far as I know Archimedes never made it to Italy, so it didn't occur to me...
That's not what I was thinking of.
Also, climbing back out and shouting 'Eureka' would only really be appropriate if you actually had experienced a moment of revelation about something. I suspect you were too busy with the not drowning part for that.
Youch, anyway.
