Photos We Couldn’t Explain Even If We Wanted To

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes there are pictures that raise a thousand questions without providing any answers. No matter how long you look at them they still don't make sense, and you just end up more confused than you were going into it.

While it's confusing, it can still be fun to look at those photos and see what you can come up with as a backstory, which is why we've got these photos for you,

For Emergencies Only

This photo raises tons of questions and provides absolutely no answers. Did there used to be more to this little island that's since been washed away and this is the last man standing, or has he always been out here on his own?

Is this an item that really warrants a full-on bike lock for it? If you were that concerned about someone stealing it, why not take it inside with you? It's not like anyone would've stopped you.

We're not sure if this window was broken and they didn't have the money to replace it, or if they were just looking to show their mannequin head around the town, but we don't like it either way.

How weird does a taxidermy animal's face at a museum have to be in order to be deemed "zoologically improbable and/or terrifying to small children"? Can we see some before and after photos?

I'm not here to tell you how to celebrate or throw a party. You're allowed to celebrate in whatever way you want, but if you're going to celebrate like this, could you keep the photos to yourself?

We're not exactly sure what's going on in this bronze reenactment, but whatever it is, it doesn't seem worthy of a public statue. Maybe there's a plaque somewhere that could help us out.

When in public, people often take the "don't ask questions" approach when they see things happening that seem a little...out of order. In this case, though, we really wish someone had asked what was going on with this fox at the ATM.

There is so much happening in this photo, and yet there are no answers being given. Why is this boy in an ill-fitting suit holding a sewing machine? Is he the reason the UPS truck crashed into the water?

We appreciate the effort to spruce up the school bus, but this doesn't exactly seem like the most effective door for this vehicle. Some poor little boy with a backpack that's too big for him isn't going to be able to get through this.

She's got a bag of popcorn that's bigger than her and she's got not just one but two of those 2-liter bottles of pop, so clearly someone needs to check on this girl.
