There are many pictures that are easy to understand right away.
Then there are others where no matter how long you look, you're never quite sure what you're looking at and how it came to be. We've put together a list of pictures where you really need the back story to know what's going on.
Grandma's Discovery
The family was going through their grandmother's photo albums after she passed away and came across a picture of a pillow person.
They did a little more digging and found out that their grandmother used to make these.
Painful Bath Bomb
Taking a bath is usually a rather relaxing experience for people.
This person was shocked to discover that there was a large screw sticking out of the bath bomb that they bought.
Parasitic Pen
This might look like two ballpoint pens, but it is much more than that.
These pens each have a live parasitic worm in them. Would you want to pick one up and use it?
Tuna Fish display
The employees at this grocery store are getting pretty creative with their in-store display.
They made a tuna fish display out of tuna cans. The fish is "jumping" out of the water as it's surrounded by cases of water.
Painful Fall
This person has some rather painful looking scars on their hand.
They fell on a gusset plate at work a number of years ago and are holding up the plate that caused the damage.
Stacked Contact Lenses
An eye doctor had quite the eye-opening discovery when examining a woman's eye.
They found 27 contact lenses in the woman's eye. Was she just adding new ones on top of the old ones?
Zombie Spider
This zombie spider is something straight out of a horror movie.
The spider is covered in a fungus, is half dead and half alive. It can still crawl around in this state!
Is That A Human?
A person was very confused when they came across this in an antique store.
It looks like it might be a human statue of some sort wrapped in string. It costs over $10,000!
Get It Poppin
At first glance, it looks like this girl is pouring a bottle of pop off of her head.
That actually just a creative way that she has her hair styled to look like a it's pouring pop.
Attack Of The Mosquitos
How would a person manage to get that many bugs on their motorcycle helmet?
They had unknowingly driven right through a swarm of mosquitoes while out for a cruise and had to pull over because it became difficult to see.
Hooked Anchor
This ship was pulling up their anchor as they were getting ready to sail off.
As the anchor came out of the water they realized they had hooked on to an old torpedo!
Nutella Party
This person's neighbors had a party the night before.
The next morning they put out a recycling bin full of Nutella containers. Makes you wonder what kind of party goes through that much Nutella?
Calcium Pipe
A plumber was shocked at the state of this pipe that they were replacing.
The calcium buildup was so significant that it had formed a large ring on the inside of the pipe.

This man was driving down the highway when he noticed what looked like a small white mountain on the side of the road.
When he pulled over and went to investigate, he discovered that he was a huge pile of ceramic plates and dishes.
Beached Eye
Have you ever been on a nice stroll on the beach and looked down to see an eye?
That is exactly what happened to this person. A glass eye washed up on shore!
The Mystery Chip
A person moved into a new apartment and came across a mysterious discovery.
They thought that it was a paint chip on a bookshelf but were surprised to find that it was a taped over computer chip of some sort.
Stop And Go
This is a situation that you do not get taught in drivers education courses.
This light is flashing the green and red lights at the same time. Looks like it would lead to some stop and go traffic!
Trying To Get Ahead
A contractor purchased an old home that was in need of fixing.
When they went into the bathroom in the basement they found this head in the toilet. It would make us jump!
Raccoon Vending Machine
This little raccoon has got itself stuck into the vending machine.
It looks like it might be a little scared. All it wanted was a snack but it can't seem to get itself free.
