I like this game, but you've got to make it interesting. In that vein, here's mine:

1) Eliezer once wrote an Overcoming Bias post where he said something like "Make one little mistake in a whole long chain of inferences, and you end up in Outer Mongolia." The first time I read this post was from a webcafe in Outer Mongolia.

2) I have pet several full-grown tigers, and one of them almost fell asleep on my lap.

3) I once broke up with a girl partly because she was a deontologist.

4) One of my school teachers once accused me, in all seriousness, of being a witch. Not witch as in "Wiccan", but witch as in "has magic powers and consorts with the devil".

5) I was given a blessing by a Tibetan lama in the mountains of Nepal.
