Think These Are Photoshopped? Guess again

I know you’ll think that these amazing images are photoshopped. It happens for time to time that life is even stranger than anything you can photoshop.



Look again at these REAL images, and read about the most amazing things from around the world!
A Glitch in the Matrix

That car rendered from what looks like vector graphics from an old-school arcade game is a wire-frame sculpture by artist Benedict Radcliffe. And we mean an actual frame made of wires.

Reportedly, it received a ticket for being illegally parked, though if we had been there we’d have quickly gotten another ticket for climbing inside, picking it up and running down the street making engine sounds.
And in Season 6 of Lost, They Reveal That the Island is Actually an Ocean

What appears to be the background for a cheesy 80s album cover is actually an untouched photo from Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, the largest salt flat in the world.



It frequently floods with a shallow layer of water, allowing that dude pull off the Jesus move in the picture. Apparently it’s a popular tourist site for the natural beauty, leading to construction of a salt hotel, which we suppose makes it the worst vacation destination in the world if you’re a slug.
God’s Sand Art

Take the people out of this photo, and it looks like a bad painting. It’s the wave rock formation in Arizona, formed out of ancient sand dunes and creating that crazy depth perception-destroying optical illusion.
We’re not kidding, every damned picture of this thing looks fake. Including some that look like freaking finger paint.

“But This Store Goes to 11…”

There are marketing geniuses, and then there are the kind of visionaries who look at the ugly security fence on their storefront and decide it sort of looks like a guitar amp. Thus the Guitar Store in Southampton just went all the way with that idea, complete with big knobs and everything. We want to hire that guy to decorate our adult book store.
The Large Hadron Collider’s First Victim

The lady whose midsection appears to be in the process of getting sucked into a black hole is Cathie Jung, who, as you can see, has an entire website based around the fact that her body is terrifying to look at.



Thanks to a lifetime of wearing increasingly smaller and more ridiculous corsets, she has a 15-inch waist and presumably a liver that’s been flattened to the thickness of a Fruit Roll-up.
And Its Second Victim…

If you’re not clear what’s so remarkable about this triangle sculpture thing, look closer and follow the surfaces from one angle to the next. That’s right, it’s utterly impossible, with its MC Escher design that seems to break all laws of the known universe.



When this sculpture–located in Perth, Australia–is viewed from another angle you can see the complicated way it manipulates perspective to get the effect…

…but what we love about it is there’s no plaque explaining what the sculpture is all about either, so nobody knows what the f**k it’s supposed to be unless they’re standing in exactly the right spot.
If There’s One Sport You Just Have to Try In Your Life…

Once more we are presented with a photo that not only appear to be a Photoshop, but a bad one.



But, no, Ostrich racing is an all too real sport in several countries, though we admit these photos seem to portray frat guys enjoying the sport ironically.

Ostriches have a reputation for being ornery sons of bitches, so we’re guessing that half of the excitement is watching to see which jockey gets his eyes pecked out mid-race.
Scientists Combine Human and Slinky DNA
