Ok, so I'm running the WLD, and the party has gotten hold of a Rod of Wonder. At the beginning of tonight's session, the Wizard (who is was carrying the Rod) asked about the 66-69 result, which is something to the effect of "Wielder turns 1/12 size (no save)". I ruled that it would be an instantaneous effect, so wouldn't be able to be dispelled. The party all had a good laugh and joked about it happening multiple times (at which point I said that twice was the limit... the third time he'd simply disappear).
Well, during combat (barely an *hour* after joking about all this) the Wizard got a 66 and 68 in consecutive rounds with the Rod. We now have a 1/2" tall Wizard who cannot feasibly move through the dungeon without help. I lost control of the party for a good ten minutes while we all laughed until we cried.
Needless to say, this is one of the most random things I've EVER seen happen in a game, and to top it all off, the person sitting next to the one playing the Wizard made an off-hand comment right before the second roll and said, "Now you just need to roll a 68."..... and then a 68 came up.
After the combat was over, the paladin promptly picked up the rod and rolled a 63....
Edit: So my g/f is a math major, and I asked the probability of rolling a 4% in two consecutive rolls..... 1/625.
