30 People Who Found Something They Totally Weren't Expecting

1.

The world is sort of a messy place. Considering the fact that "life" is essentially just the mold that grew on a wet rock left at the perfect distance from the sun, it should come as little surprise that it's somewhat disorganized. Chaotic. And fun. Unfortunately, too many of us let our blinders go up and we forget to stop and smell the roses -- to open our eyes and really explore.. Which is unfortunate, considering just how much there is to find out there.
