Life altering experiences.

Someone on Metafilter asked people to post their most life-altering experiences, and it turned into an amazing read. Pretty long though. There also are ones for happiest moments and major epiphanies. Sometimes the web amazes me. I had to create a new category of "people" for this one. Via Running Scared.
