What is the strangest thing you've done in the name of research?

Today's Alternative Read blog hop question is  provided by author: Victoria Blisse  QUESTION:What is the strangest thing you've done in the name of research?

It's not that I don't enjoy research, more a case of not being vry good at it.  I tend to get so wrapped up in the pursuit for answers, I have been known to forget the original question!

Now when that happens during a conversation with a member of the local constabularly, it does nothing for your credability! LOL

Fortunately for me, I knew the officer and we both had a good laugh about it!
