The world is filled with beautiful things. The world is also filled with mysterious things, strange things, and all types of things in between.
No matter the classification of thing, sometimes these discoveries can take us by surprise, something we never expected the world to have in store for us. Like the items on this list!
“Large ice crystals in Switzerland.”
I think if all snowflakes were like this, I’d like winter more. Alternatively, if this acts more like hail, I’d hate hail more if it were like this.
“This random doorway to nowhere.”
Uh, you think it’s to nowhere but have you ever actually gone through it?
“A mammoth tusk just found in the Arctic.”
My brain would tell me to bring it to a museum so they could keep it or hand it off for research purposes, but my heart would tell me to keep that sucker for myself.
“I had a purple ink stain on my shirt. After trying to wash it out it seperated into a red and a blue stain.”
“Thought you could get rid of me, huh? Well, instead of one stain, you have two now. Take that!”
“[This] massive fry.”
How does this happen? Surely this wasn’t cut from one gigantic potato, right?
“Cave in Thailand looks like a giant petrified snake.”
Are we sure it only looks like one and isn’t one for real? We should get to excavating, see if there are bones in there.
“Found an expiration date stamped on the mustard itself.”
Nothing like mustard with the slight taste of ink, really gives it a kick.
“My playing cards have an expiration date on them.”
Well, yeah, after that they go stale. Better to eat them when they’re fresh, anyway.

Breathing life back in, or sucking life out? I’d be a little wary of your wife, first it’s coconuts, then it’s you.
