I am finding among the real strange gig and job ads that I am choosing only to respond to those ads that have an equal amount of test on skills required and text about the product.
The number one strange ad that I encountered was one requesting consensus be built among VCs for product direction rather than say customers.
What is the strangest thing you have seen in a gig or job ad?

includes:
"have at least 7 yrs of experience and maximum of 9 yrs in developing web pages"
There's a whole lot of people they're not going to get because of that :)
