Stranger things have happened at sea

What does that actually mean?

Most things happen on land, so anything that happens at sea is going to be strange by default anyway, isn't it.

Hey guess what, something just happened away out there in the middle of the atlantic ocean! Really? Well that's strange because normally it's just waves swishing around and the odd ship that passes in the night.

See what I mean? Whoever thought that saying up didn't think it through properly enough.

 

I think it's a sailors expression from the old days, referring to the fact that when there's a bunch of men on a boat together for long periods of time, strange things happen.

Plus the sea monsters and Bermuda triangle kinda stuff.

/damn white whale!

 

I think it's referring to gay sailors.

 

Gay sailors? How queer!

 

obviously whoever coined the expression knew that jo king works on a boat.

Actually, unless you're referring to things that happen to humans, way more things happen in the ocean, where there are many more life forms, than happen on land.

 

It's not gay if there are no woman around

 

Of course it is. You definitely wouldn't call it hetero, would you?

 

you live in tennessee what do you know about the ocean

 

I grew up on the gulf coast, but my real knowledge of the ocean comes from reading

 

then they've been lying to me and it is gay
