20 Pics That Were Seriously Unexpected

Our world is full of infinite possibilities, even if it sometimes feels staid and boring. The world can be random, scary, gross, unexpected, fascinating, or all five things at once.

All we have to do is get out and explore it — or, alternatively, seek out pics on the internet.

One in more than a million.

This lobster is exhibiting something called gynandromorphy, don'tcha know, which splits not just its colors but its gender as well. There's about a one in 50 million chance of this happening.

Man becomes penguin.

If you're ever wondering how Danny DeVito looked so penguiny in the 1989 Batman flick, here's a look. I especially like his creepy penguin flippers.

Impaled.

After a tornado blew threw this area, someone snapped a photo of a jagged shard of wood that was blown with enough force to punch a hole in solid concrete.

Noooooo!

This will give me nightmares. I didn't know that the warm recesses of a video game console were a favored home for cockroaches.

Now I'm not sure whether I should open up my PS4 or not.

Blurry.

No matter what you do to this photo, those leaves will never not look blurry. It's because this is a cercis canadensis — or eastern redbud — and its leaves just look that way naturally.

Shot through the heart.

Reddit | TraumaticAberration

This balloon was stabbed with a pen but it's not going to do the easy thing and pop. No, it's going to prove that some balloons can survive such an experience.

Into the heavens.

This pic, taken in Russia on a cold night, shows what happens when ice crystals in the sky become illuminated. It's a fascinating phenomenon, one that almost rivals aurora borealis.

Natural pyramid.

You're looking at the appropriately-named Sharptop Mountain in Virginia. From this angle, it's hard to believe that this pointy, pyramid-shaped mountain is naturally occurring.

Next level.

It's not like they're invisible or anything but the camo on display with these two soldiers is an impressive thing to behold. You can blur your eyes and they virtually disappear.

Those eyelashes...

Reddit | TheRakishRaconteur

This woman has vitiligo, which has the unusual effect of coloring her eyelashes. One half is the naturally dark color of her hair, while the other half is snowy white.

Whee!

We've seen artisanal restaurants try all sorts of stuff with their seating and dining options but in my opinion, nothing beats this. Who doesn't want to swing a little during dinner?

Picked.

Reddit | BHO140895

Normally it's the job of a gardener to pick a jalapeño off the vine but in this case, the job has been performed by another plant.

A courgette has wrapped itself around and then picked said jalapeño.

Happy to see you.

Orchids are endlessly being tinkered with by growers so I'm not sure if this is intentional or just a happy accident. Either way, this orchid is a smiley little guy.

You rang?

Reddit | Allenzilla

This security door is pretty normal in and of itself but the fact that a tiny frog lives in the tiny hollow above it elevates this into something out of a fairy tale.

Seen in a saw.

Reddit | GreetingsFromAP

Someone bought this saw at a yard sale. After a bit of cleaning, a beautiful pastoral painting was revealed. It does make me wonder, though...who paints a saw?

*Breathing intensifies*.

Dead cicadas are a fairly common sight in some years, but this dead cicada looks a lot more like Darth Vader's helmet than it has any right to.

A true gem.

Reddit | 17-03

This random stray kitty looks like it appreciates a good chin scratch. That's pretty standard for cats but what isn't standard is the fact that its eyes look like gemstones.

Like new.

Reddit | merzak-x

This person experienced what must have been a painful burn on their hand, stripping layers of skin away. The end result was the uncovering of their tattoo's original vibrant colors.

Sucks to be you.

Reddit | Queen-of-nightmare

This woman says she's allergic to getting cold. Man, that's rough. Imagine the discomfort of being cold compounded by a nasty allergic reaction.

I'm lovin' it.

Reddit | cadensara

To switch things up from the dead cicada earlier, here's a cicada that's alive and well. It also has some kind of endorsement deal with McDonald's, apparently.
