The strangest sentence in the history of the universe

I read a series of books called Artemis Fowl,  involving the personality transformation of a 12-year old criminal mastermind to a less evil 17-year old genius. And there's faeries with laser guns. Definitely read it. But anyway, there are eight books in the series, all of which I have read. I was recently rereading the fifth one and I came across what I believe to be the strangest sentence in the history of the universe:

"It's easy to imagine jumping into an inter-dimensional crater when you're rolling your cocooned classmates into a pit full of dung."

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but that seems like a stranger sentence than you normally see in your everyday scifi/fantasy book. And I've seen some other strange ones:

"The etheral figure steppeed forward, his body glowing with an aura of bright green light he said, in deep bass tones: 'Pull my finger.'"

I'm not even going to go into the other ones that I've seen. But that's beside the point. I think emphatically that the first one is more strange. And, I'm interested to see what you have to say. Vote for one of these, or submit your own.

Go ahead! Vote!
