Someone Grabbed The Wrong Gun 

This is a still shot of a youtube video of law enforcement entering a home in Oklahoma. At first glance, there seems to be nothing amiss, just officers following standard procedure. Someone with a keen eye, however, noticed something very wrong with the video. It appears that the officer, circled in blue, is holding a paintball gun. The screenshot went viral, and jokes upon jokes ensued until somebody pointed out that the weapon is more dangerous than it looks. This gun shoots military-grade pepper spray ball. These pepperballs were designed to disable potential threats rather than kill them.

A Chain To Nowhere

This one may have people scratching their heads. What is the point of a single taut chain stretching from floor to pavement? The internet came to the rescue to let us know that this is called a rain chain. Rain chains are an alternative to closed rain gutters, which tend to be an eyesore. In general, rain chains are usually more aesthetically pleasing than this simple one. Many rain chains involve a series of decorative baskets or watering cans that flow into one another. It seems these homeowners believe in function over fashion.
