Famous tennis player Rafael Nadal gives his head a shake after earning the Win in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and there were plenty of cameras on-hand to ensure we have this image to enjoy. Every strand of hair flies in a different direction, and sweat shoots everywhere.
Also, that expression! He’s thrilled – he just won the singles final match against Alexandr Dolgopolov – but it has a beautiful derpy quality to it as well. We guess it’s hard to blame him. Every single expression we make has the opportunity for derpiness at some point.
The Best of Both Worlds
Dogs are some of the best the animal kingdom offers, but they lack one significant advantage – they're stuck on the ground like the rest of us. But this guy seems to have figured out a way to take the sky and leave no treat uneaten.
Of course, he'll have to convince a bird to help him out, and birds are hard to work with. They won't even let us get close with that kind of proposition, and we imagine they're no fans of dogs getting close, either. Maybe one day.
Like a Glove
Well, well, would you look at that? A pair of buildings in downtown New Orleans, when pictured from a specific angle, happen to line up as if they were made to do so. What a startling coincidence!
We bet everybody who sees this chuckles to him or herself, maybe tells a friend about it, and then moves on with their day. But what if it was intentional? What if the architects were friends, or the second designer wanted to do something fun? The chances are slim, but we think it could have happened.
We Hope You Like Little Holes
For most people, woodpeckers are birds that are little more than annoyances. Their entire bodies and physiology is made to let them drill their sharp beaks into hardwood, but they're too stupid to realize that they're trying to drill into houses.
They do this pecking twofold – the first is to find delicious little bugs to eat, and the second is to create repositories of seeds for when the weather turns cold. As you can see from this image, they're pretty diligent once they find a tree they can peck into.
The Spaghetti Tree
Put the fork and knife away – this isn't the pasta you should be digging into unless you want to fill up on wood. You're looking at a tree that has undergone a form of stress – this could be due to injury, a virus, or a fungus. The loops and whorls you see are called wood burls.
It usually isn't discovered until the tree dies or has fallen over, which seems to be the case here. The most common causes are insect infestations and certain types of mold. As for a reason here, your guess is as good as ours.
