Today, I was driving down a dark country road with the windows down. Suddenly, a giant barn owl flew through my side-window and smacked into my head, causing me to drive into a ditch. FML

Owls have better eyesight than humans when it's dark. Maybe it was saving you from something out there :)

At least it didn't cut to some long-ass cutscene when you ran into him like in Majora's Mask.

Who drives with the windows open at night?

A lot of people who like the way the wind feels in their face at midnight. I happen to be one of those people.

People not trying to fall asleep on the road.

I failed to realize that driving with your windows open at certain times was unacceptable.

Owls are amazingly resilient, and I'm sure it wasn't fatally injured. As long as there aren't any broken bones or internal injuries, birds in general bounce back pretty quickly.

One time, I rode in the passenger seat of a convertible and a pigeon flew into my mouth. Scarred for life.

I'm worried about the GIANT-ness of this barn owl OP described D: being smacked in the head by an owl is one thing, but a GIANT owl D:?!! *runs* be afraid, be very afraid W(OvO)W !! Haha :)

Clearly, he just dropped in to say hello.

That's a pretty awesome story to tell the grandkids.

What part of "dark country road" made you want to leave your window open? Those three words sound like they would be part of a sentence that would include the words "serial killer" or "alien abduction."

I lived on a dark country, and I had to run on it when I ran XC

Or faceless man in a black suit and tie with dark eerie tentacle pertruding from his back and abducting you by mind control.

What do you mean? I LOVE hanging out on dark country roads. It's the best place to find victims-- cough* *wheeze*--I mean, volunteers.

I hate driving down them kind of roads, they're scary! And they always remind me of horror films..
