Do you take the subway to and from work? Well, you might want to think about walking instead once you've seen this bizarre bunch of people who were snapped on various tubes, subways and undergrounds around the world. From men dressed as sharks, foxes, the abominable snowman and even Napoleon Bonaparte, to women with chickens on leashes, dogs in bags, ducks on laps and kittens beneath their skirts, this collection of pictures, compiled by Bored Panda, reminds us that no matter how interesting life can be above the ground, nothing compares to what you'll find if you're brave enough to venture beneath the city.

I'm not sure if she's cosplaying The crow, modeled her style (and other things as ravens take a training and so on) after it, or she's just awesomely goth. Either way I never look that cool in my goth clothes. I'm jealous haha. :)

I've always wanted a crow or raven for a pet. They are much more intelligent than most people give them credit for. I once rescued a baby crow, that had fallen out of a tree, but unfortunately, he didn't make it.

He was very friendly and chatty. The next time I met him(in the tram again) he wore the same outfit but this time he brought two extremely cute Kangal pups with him.
