    I'm a Visual Editor at Bored Panda since 2017. I've searched through a multitude of images to create over 2000 diverse posts on a wide range of topics.

    This is a perfect representation of Murphy's Law: Oh no, the woman fell off a cliff and is hanging on for her life, BUT WAIT, there is a snake which is biting the woman’s arm, what could possibly be worse than this?… *ROCK FALLS*. Can’t wait to see the next chapter when the dinosaurs arrive.

    If you think that falling rocks herald the arrival of dinosaurs, I think you may be going through time in the wrong direction.

    Whatever got this couple into this situation could be the key to their problems. Not that it matters because they're both going to die. Lesson: Don't hang out near dangerous cliffs and falling rocks, no matter how good your communication skills are!
