Strange As It Seems

The word "strange" has been rattling around my head for a while. My dictionary defines "strange" as "unusual or surprising in a way that is unsettling or hard to understand." The world is full of things that are "unusual or surprising" but it's the "unsettling or hard to understand" twist that makes "strange" especially interesting. It inhabits the twilight zone between straightforward and incomprehensible. Mostly, we LIKE strange things -- while straightforward can be dull and incomprehensible can be tiresome, for me "strange" is often like a little puzzle and solving puzzles is fun!
