20 Pics That Made Us Stop And Say 'Wait, What?'

Is there a story here? I ask just because I can't really envision a scenario where a pilot would waste fuel just to carve a temporary, kind of wonky-looking smiley face into the sky.

I like how OP simply states that they found a Byte Coke, as if anyone anywhere knows what that means. Does this taste like purple? Does it taste like the internet?

Lego can be the basis for some truly original art, including stuff like this. Knowing that this would have to be a custom build just makes it all that much more impressive.

I think everyone has, at one time or another, stacked a few flat rocks on a beach. But there's a big difference between stacking a couple of rocks and building a full-blown rocky skyscraper.

I really appreciate how on-brand this pencil is. I also appreciate that it comes with double the erasing power of a typical pencil. I'm not so sure the balance would work out when writing with it, though.

Rocks tend to look like blobs, or perhaps broken blobs, and sometimes blobs with fossils set within them. This rock, though? I have no idea. Did a snake mass grave get fossilized or something?

They call it sea salt, and if you needed proof, here it is. Just grind that shell up with the rest of the salt for a truly maritime dining experience.

This would never fly nowadays, but I appreciate the attention to detail. This is so much more than just a simple calculator with a cigarette logo slapped on the front.

I think this only happens in areas directly on the Equator. Maybe the rarity, and the fact that most of the world has never seen this phenomenon, is what makes it look so weird.

When looking at this photo, you can either zone out to the Zen pattern of the beehive, or you can feel anxious about the possibility that OP might get stung.

An eclipse typically looks kind of like a crescent moon, but sometimes things combine in a perfect way. Maybe a sunset like this is the reason the ancient Egyptians worshipped cats.

On one hand, you might like to see more of a platform from this candidate. On the other hand, I'm not sure I've ever agreed with a mission statement more.

I'm not sure if this USB drive — which is essentially just an adapter for an SD card — is good value because of the card, or bad value because it's so clearly slapped together.

This photo kind of freaks me out. I try to take my fortunes to heart, and getting a fortune that's essentially a 404 error code would leave me feeling spiritually adrift.

This is kind of like when restaurants entice customers by letting kids eat for free, only it's not nearly as exciting.

Pinball is serious business for some people. So if you take pinball seriously, please let us know what the ruling is when something like this happens.

I'm torn here. On one hand, it's really weird that her feet have disappeared. On the other hand, I'm impressed that her cat is able to sit so comfortably on her butt.

I thought this was a Photoshop job or a camera glitch at first. It honestly took me an embarrassingly long time to realize it was just a guy wearing the perfect camouflage.

There's no way this was intentional, but it's amazing nonetheless. I guess this is what people are talking about when they refer to something being a happy accident.

This dye is honestly kind of incredible. I wonder how long it can make a person's eyes look radioactive for.
