30 Things That Don’t Quite Add Up

This fire department is offering one heck of a deal for anyone who's interested: dangerous work for free, but it comes with a neat little hat.

I didn't know that GZA and Raekwon were looking to expand their empire beyond the limits of Long Island, but it looks like they're getting into the flan game.

Yeah, he wore shorts to a wedding. Whatever. What I'm really concerned about is how one of the other wedding guests has chosen to mark the big day.

Cats are incredible hunters as it is. But if you equip one with a tank, I fear for the local mouse and bird populations.

I suppose this actually would work, assuming you don't plan on scrolling at all, and also assuming you're using someone else's phone.

There are two types of people in the world: decent, honest folks who eat their Hershey's bars the normal way, and those who just want to watch the world burn.

I get that cold weather makes things freeze. What I don't get is how someone got an egg to freeze in this way.

Lots of people take care of their own vehicles. It can't be that hard. Just pour miscellaneous oil over the engine block now and then to keep things running.

There's nothing wrong with knit hats. There's also nothing wrong with colorful shorts or pants. Somehow, there's something deeply wrong with this photo.

I don't mean to disparage the hardworking delivery drivers out there. It's just that they're usually driving, like, a Ford Fiesta or something. This is a little out of the ordinary.

It's rough when you're playing poker and just know that someone else has a killer hand while you've got nothing. Losing to a dog is just the cherry on the garbage sundae.

This is a grave for Stonewall Jackson's arm. Yes, his arm. His troops accidentally shot it off, so they compensated by giving his arm a funeral.

This seems like some kind of brilliant redneck engineering until you realize that it could only work for straightaways, and maybe not even then. I doubt he can do corners.

I know that things were different back in the day, but I have so many questions here. Were ostrich-drawn carts a common thing? Had they not heard of horses yet?

I thought that tree branches basically just pushed fences out of the way when they wanted to expand. In this case, the tree has played nice with the fence, using it to weave itself into a rope.

I used to think that any private space with a sink and toilet worked fine as a washroom. Then I saw this horrifying monstrosity.

That's a flat pan on a flat surface. Water has been poured in. How on earth is it leaving that one small area completely dry?

Look, chicken tendies demand dipping sauce. I'm on board with that. But that compartment is designed to hold pennies and miscellaneous garbage, not creamy ranch.

This high school student built a wooden backpack for himself. I don't know if this makes him the coolest or the lamest student in his grade.

No big deal, just a dude sitting on a million unbroken eggs, looking at you like he's wondering what your problem is. Talk about walking on eggshells.

Lightbulbs burn out eventually, and seeing partially burnt-out signs is commonplace. But how do the lit up areas of these signs match up so perfectly with each other?

Here's another old timey photograph that I just don't get. These guys look a little too serious for a crew that includes a dude in a furry costume.

Why is that clown so ripped? Why is he so unhappy on such a thrilling ride? Is it even legal to smoke at theme parks, let alone on the rides themselves?

This is pretty big for a bonsai tree. What really gets me are those flowers. They're real, but they look like they were patched into the game by a lazy developer.

Unless you've got a fancy phone case with a built-in kickstand, it can be awkward finding the right viewing angle. It should never be this awkward, though.

Goats, as far as I know, like to hang out in steep areas, eat greenery, and occasionally headbutt one another. Why they'd choose to overrun a town, or what the town could offer them, is beyond me.

The mechanics here are totally sound. Potatoes plus oil plus heat equals french fries. The problem is the fact that they've been fried in a dirty old shovel.

This is a somewhat disorganized toolbox, which might help explain why there's a hammer imposter inside. I mean, I'm sure it works as a hammer. It's just odd.

Either this guy casts a giant shadow on the horizon, or he and that landform behind him were destined to end up together.

This apartment building forbids satellite dishes, so one resident got creative. I guess it blends in a little bit, but it's still not exactly subtle.
