You know, before I went corporate. While at first glance, this helmet looks like it’s something a Spartan would wear while fighting against the invading Persians, it’s actually from the outfit of the classic DC Comics superhero Dr. Fate. If you aren’t familiar with the name, don’t be ashamed – he hasn’t had his time in the limelight just yet.
He first showed up in “More Fun Comics” #55 in May 1940, and he’s gone through a number of incarnations, but his most famous physical attribute, his helmet, endures to this day. We can’t tell you why this businessman is dressing up as such an unknown character, but maybe that’s all he could do between the bank and the comic convention.
Guardian Angels Can Get Grumpy
If you tell your family that you saw an angel on the train while on the way to work, they probably think of a certain image. This is not that image. This grumpy old soul has been keeping inattentive kids and clumsy adults from hurting themselves for too long.
Maybe this is the angel that has been assigned to the train itself, and it’s just her pure, holy power that keeps it from getting into a terrible accident. She has to watch over this train daily and ensure it stays stuck to the rails. Seems like a big job, which would explain why she has such a long face.
The ‘Zord is in the Shop
Yes, it seems even Super Sentai heroes have to take public transportation every once in a while. This sort of sight is rare, even in Asian places, where those types of shows have a much larger media foothold. Whether this quintet is on their way to fight off Rita Repulsa or they just want to head to a convention to meet all their adoring fans, it’s a sight to behold.
We are particularly fond of the fact that they’ve all stuck the same laid-back pose. Same leg over the knee, hands folded in the same way. They know that they’re superstars and here to drink in the adoration. Maybe they’ll bust a move or two, or maybe they’ll just enjoy the looks.
Something to Occupy Her Time
The thing about riding on public transportation is that there is usually nothing at all to do. You have to sit and wait to get to your destination, and there’s no way around it. Sure, you can bring a book or listen to music or something like that, but you’re going to run out of things to do before long.
So this woman printed out fifteen pages of Facebook comments and was reading them on the subway. Well, if you don’t have your phone with you, how else are you supposed to do it? She had some important updates to get through. Or, maybe she keeps it around to glance at when she’s having a bad day. It’s not like it’s anywhere near the weird elsewhere on this list.
It's Not What You Think It Means
This woman, found in the capital of South Korea, Seoul, has a rather memorable tattoo on the back of her neck, and there are a few possible explanations. Maybe it’s like how English-speaking people get tattoos in Chinese or Japanese, or Korean, explaining that it means “grace” or “beauty,” but it really just means “a squirrel got stuck in my toaster” or something like that.
Maybe she really likes the idea of recycling and just couldn’t translate the idea well enough before she got the tattoo done. Maybe this is one of those things she got after a wild night, and she’s on her way to remove it. Or, maybe she, you know, is into that sort of thing.
