All of the usual Craigslist topics come up in these unbelievable ads: dating, pets, junk sales, free items, missed connections. But instead of being simple and straightforward, these ads are overdone or bent.

Let's start with pets.

"Please rescue my son's Sea Monkeys." So begins one woman's . Their owners are moving, you see, and she has no idea how to transport them. But don't try to tell her how to move them, because, as she says, "I don't care." She just wants them off of her hands--as long as you don't feed them to your fish.

And she has one last request: "Please do no flag and tell me this belongs in Pets. Seriously--they're Sea Monkeys. Come on."
