At 5' 6", French soccer player Mathieu Valbuena is one of the shortest players in Europe's pro soccer circuit, but the photo above by Reuters photographer Yves Heman sure made him look much, much smaller! How is this even possible?

This friendly reminder was erected by the Arlington County Police Department just outside Washington, D.C. The article frames it as an example of wasted tax dollars, but it is more likely that the people who program the sign, to warn of traffic jams and other hazards when they occur, just ran out of helpful default slogans.

After watching Tron, imgur Calve12's daughter had a nightmare about him getting sucked into the computer. Naturally, being a good dad, this is what he came up with - via Jonno vs the Internet

Joey deVilla of Accordion Guy wanted to know the current time in Canada, and found his answer in one of these three wall clocks on the wall of an unnamed Days Inn hotel.
Now, if that clock had been labeled "China" ...

How great is this tattoo of an ape face on the back of the head? It might be a Photoshop, but if not, the guy can always cover it up by letting his hair grow out. But then again, if he eventually started to go bald, the eyes would show up first. If he goes totally bald, what a weird picture that would make!

Neat-O fact: the term "couch potato" became popular in the 1970s to describe people who liked to vegetate in front of the "boob tube." Tom Iacino of Pasadena substituted "tuber" for "potato" to come up with the term.

This. Is. Genius! Redditor Ratapus found that the Country Inn & Suites in Niagara Falls has a dedicated button to call for pizza. All phones need this!
Adam Wingard's new horror film "You're Next" is about a gang of mysterious killers who attacked a vacationing family. But apparently, being attacked by ax-wielding murderers wearing creepy animal masks isn't scary enough for one fan, who decided to upgrade the level of horror by introducing a much more menacing character:

Toilet not flushing properly? Perhaps you've got FATBERG in the sewers.
That's what happened when residents in an apartment building in London noticed that they couldn't flush their toilets: a giant 15-ton blob of congealed fat and baby wipes had lodged in a sewer drain. That's enough "wrongly flushed festering food fat mixed with wet wipes" to fill a double-decker bus!
It'll take the utility company Thames Water six months to remove Fatberg, which you can see in a video clip below:
