If you regularly ride the subway (or are aware of our previous post) you probably know that it's a strange place. One day, a guy brings his pet peacock and you feel like you're visiting a zoo; another there's a crazy Russian riding a fire extinguisher as if he's an on-set Hollywood stuntman. And it's quite useful, too. I mean, think of the long silences you'd have to endure during lunch breaks with your colleagues if no one was sharing their crazy commute stories. Bored Panda has compiled a list of extraordinary subway passengers and if their photos won't make you use the public transport more, nothing will. Scroll down to meet the gang and upvote the ones you'd like to meet the most. Or least. You decide.

While looking cool it is completely fake. If it really had that much power then it would be unusable since it would push you away from the fire when used and thus not affect the fire for more than a second.

True. Also, uncontrolled forces of that magnitude push a human in a straight line parallel to the floor in some other universe. Not this one.

Scary how stupid the general public is to think this is real - it's FAKE morons, a fire extinguisher has no where near the thrust to move a human, let alone keep them in mid air. Geeeeeesh, rub a few brain cells together.

I can’t tell if it’s real or fake I don’t think a fair extinguisher would have enough power to keep him in the air

Medusa had felt out of place for so long. She knew she needed a change so she traveled to NYC. Once there she met several people who knew her pain. After hanging out with her new found friends, she finally realized what she needed to do. Let me introduce to you Nanas! Nanas is now the only male gorgon and he became the trusted guard of Zeus. He was now truly happy and lived a full and happy life.
