Strange Pictures That Make Us Stop And Think “Of COURSE That’s A Thing”

Lettuce get out of the rain. Get it? It's a vegetable pun. This is actually a great way to incorporate inevitable wrinkling into the umbrella design.

I would definitely buy this gadget. I'm glad that it exists. Apparently, it's good at keeping you dry, but it's not so great as a wind barrier.

Here's an idea, how about when it's wet and rainy outside, we wear rainboots instead of these monstrosities?

I get that you want to keep your shoes pristine, but if care about them this much, maybe you just shouldn't wear them outside.

This is the most meta cosplay I've ever seen. I applaud this creative soul. I hope he can see out of that thing, though.

I wonder how many people he bumped into that day. I hope the costume survived all of the collisions.

As an April Fool's prank, Hot Wheels made Wonder Woman's Invisible Jet. It was just an empty Hot Wheels packet.

The joke got a bunch of attention, though. So much that people demanded an actual Invisible Jet. Of course, Hot Wheels delivered.

Michael Cera makes every rap album better. His whole being is the opposite of rap. He's so unsure about everything, and his voice is so cute and high pitched.

He's just the counterpoint that rap needs— the one thing that it's always been missing.

I think I would probably break that handle the first time I tried to drink out of that mug. It looks like an accident waiting to happen.

Considering that you'd have to buy it online, it would probably arrive broken anyway. There's got to be a more stable way of building this.

Don't you want these five centaur pieces that go on your fingers to make one whole centaur? This thing looks like minutes of fun.

That head piece looks a little... suggestive. Maybe don't get this toy for your kids. You don't want them going down the wrong path, if you know what I mean.

This nightstand turns into a bat and a shield for self-defense. This is actually pretty cool unless you want to use your nightstand as a table.

I'd end up knocking over my laptop and my glass of water as soon as I heard a noise downstairs. There's no time for careful consideration when you're springing into beast mode.

There are two things wrong with dunking cookies into milk with your fingers. Number one: your fingers get all messy. Number two: if you like a fully saturated cookie, sometimes it gets too milky and it falls apart.

This device solves both of those problems. The future is now.

Living in the future is great, but sometimes all of that technology can get distracting. Don't we value actual face time anymore? And no, I'm not talking about the iPhone app.

This tube is for real face time and plenty of it. Honestly, I don't think I like anyone enough to trap myself in a tube with them.

A landowner puts these signs up all over Fountain (which is a good name for a town in its own right). There are also signs that say, “End of the” Trail, "Out of" Place, and "This is the" Place.

I love when people take street signs into their own hands.

Ok, I'm going to say it — this event is an excellent idea. The first time I saw Spiderman 3 I thought, wow, whoever directed this was really having a bad day.

This Nicolas Cage pillow is giving me all the feels— as in, I would imagine that pillow would be fun to feel.

I think I need several dozen of these. A few for every room of a house. Not my house, just somebody's house. Somebody who doesn't know that they're getting a very thoughtful present.

The only thing this set is missing is some guacamole. Maybe there's an avocado in one of those Amazon boxes.

This is actually brilliant. I'm not a religious person, but I need one of these asap. I hope it's a real-life hipster's job to hand paint each one of those pieces.

This heart-shaped headphone splitter looks like... something else. Especially the placement of it. The whole package looks like something that's not quite SFW.

If the headphone jack was at the top of the phone, this might have worked out better. Always think about these things, designers.

The soles of these shoes face the opposite way to confuse anybody who might be trying to track you.

It looks like walking around in them would be pretty uncomfortable, but sometimes you've gotta do what you gotta do to sneak around. Just don't trip, 'cause then you'll get caught for sure.
