This is just a normal day in Australia went emus are causing trouble again. They even resist arrest and run away from the cops in the middle of the highway.

4) Jenga Master

The original poster promises that there is no glue invloved in this shot. He simply stacked the Jenga blocks with the force. There’s no other explanation.

13) He Actually Did

Imagine Liam Neeson visitng your sandwich shop. Maybe if you try offering him free food then it will happen. Times are hard, after all. Maybe he can’t afford it.

This adorable kitten loves to suck his thumb like a human baby. Lucky for his master, there’s a picture to prove it and we can’t get enough.

24) He Creates Space Magic

No one believes that this guy stages rocket launch photo sessions. So he took a picture of himself taking a picture of one. Now everyone knows.

25) In Full Circle

32) That’s Not Him

Do you know this man? Well, it isn’t the same man that is on that billboard unless his photo was stolen. This dad and his daughter found it on the side of the road!

33) Where Does It End?

Is there also a wagon in that red car and a RC car in that wagon and a hot wheels car in that RC car? Is the Earth just a mode of transportation for that truck?

34) Excuse Me, Kind Sir

This little boy asked his mom if he could tell that man his undies are showing. Of course, she said yes and thus this viral picture is born. I think the dude took it well.

This girl captured the entire life of a ladybug in one picture. All three stages are on one leaf. Now that’s something to take to show and tell.

38) Did They Disappear Too?

It took years to finally find this picture to prove that this girl and her own twin brother ate pizza with the famous Olsen twins. Surely they still keep in touch.

39) The Legend Continues

Back before we lost our hero, he could be found surprising up and coming comedians by appearing at their shows. This comedian got to talk to him for twenty minutes that night.

46) Just a Slice of Pepperoni

This squirrel found a piece of pizza and I’m a little jealous. He didn’t even have to pay for it and he’s eating it right. We don’t deserve squirrels. But who is going to plant our trees now? Mr. Beast?

These gorgeous albino twins were spotted in West Virgina hanging out with the rest of the pack. I hope that there aren’t many predators around because they are rather conspicuous.

50) Anna is Not Pleased

Strangely enough, this husband wasn’t jealous when his wife took this picture. But Anna Faris on the other hand does not seem happy about it. Perhaps that’s why they divorced.

51) I’d Like a Lift to the Airport

An owl flew into this guy’s car through the open window in Vegas. Could it be missing from an act? If that is the case, I’m sure he is more than happy to be free.

61) The Ritual is Complete

These three squirrels of different colors are most definitely trying to summon an alpha squirrel in order to take over the world. World War Squirrel.

Imagine Johnny Depp being in a band with your in-laws. In his wife’s case, they were in her family’s wedding band. If only he could have gotten them to play at his wedding.

This beautiful pigeon belongs in storybooks and pigeon heaven. Not down here with us. Yet here she is, letting us know that we do not deserve her beauty.

65) He Checked the Cams

When this mom told her kids that the rooster got after her one day, they had to have proof. So they pulled up the game cameras and found out it was true.

66) Nothing to See Here

We don’t know what’s going on here and we don’t want to know. What we do know is that these guys were even barking and howling. Someone is making big bucks to do this.

67) That’s Not Trash

This poor goat was heard scavenging from the living room. When someone went to check on him they found out he thought that he was trash. Poor thing.

How did that car get in that little slot? We will probably never know but that doesn’t stop us from staring at the picture trying to figure it out.

73) Complete Zen

After eight hours of practice, this champion balanced these stones and took a picture to prove it. If you wouldn’t hang this on your wall, you need to go to therapy.

Let these people remind you to keep your phones at arm’s reach because you can never tell when you’re going to need a receipt. Share this with your friends and family, and see if they have photos of their crazy encounters.
