If you squint and look closely, maybe zoom in on the picture, it looks like there's a woman hunched over on the bed! The way the sheets are all bunched up it looks like the "body" has wings. Does anyone else see that? And the way the dark shadow resembles the hair from the back of a head. Creepy! I don't usually see these things when other people mention shadows and peeling paint but this one is freaking me out.

I'm more disturbed with the fact that no one named the crocs. I will name them Steve and Louise.

Why do they need that dinky 2" glass viewer when they can look through that big ass hole? Ha! Big ass-hole.

The secrecy button was turned ON! Are you crazy taking a picture of it? I fear you are in great danger.

I don't know about you people. This clearly depicts a girl in a wheelchair picking the pocket of the black kid, who is stealing a wallet from a white kid, who is reaching to steal the pocket book from the girl who is picking her nose. As for the girl in red, she's a victim waiting to happen.

I was thinking more of an ice cream maker, but I guess that was just my abnormally large sweet tooth chiming in.

Speaking of ghosts. The Others with Nicole Kidman.

Looks more like 9:15 to me? But what do I know, all my clocks are digital.

Reminds me of the game Water Works. Also, something that the 3 Stooges would build as plumbers.

I like how the shot appears to be in black and white and eventualy turns to color, much like what happens in the Wizard of Oz.

This stairway could use graffiti angels walking up to Satan. It just doesn't look right without them.

Why did they hang soap dispensers from the ceiling? That's just bad engineering.

I believe this is the Westinghouse Gyro Sewamatic-a-tron-amator.

Frankly, many a sewing machine collector are pretty greedy....ah, never mind.

I'm sorry, you're all wrong. It's an old fasioned Play Doh machine.
