It&#8217;s a forum for the weird, the wonderful and the just plain WTF where you thinking? There are some funny craiglist ads. Just like basically anywhere on the internet, there is a grand opportunity for individuals to post ads looking for a flatmate. Sort of like Flatmate.com, except there isn&#8217;t a spectacular filter like ours to stop the crazies from, you know, releasing their crazy. What these people were thinking when they posted these ads we&#8217;ll never know. All we can do is sit back and pray they&#8217;re okay (and no one responded to these ads).<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a
