Poor little subway rat, literally dead in the water :(, a photo by thepetecom on Flickr.

Snapped this just as my train was arriving so I couldn't get a cleaner shot. The rat was lying in a stream of flowing water that ran down the length of the track. Sad little guy. Now he will be remembered. Kinda.

It reads:

Dear Fellow Occupy Wall Streeter,

Please stop defacing & vandalizing the neighborhood. It makes the whole movement look bad. (And it makes you an asshole.)

Sign of the Times: You'd Never Expect THIS Subway Jumper (don't worry!) a video by thepetecom on Flickr.

Saw this on the way home the night of December 6, 2011. Looks like the cold or maybe the down economy got to be too much for this poor bear!

Here are some stills I took:

FYI, the front-facing camera on my Android phone flips the picture for some reason and the stills were taken with the back-facing camera, so they're not only higher quality, but also oriented properly.  Sorry for any confusion.

I have a strange (but mild) obsession with subway wall shots like these. Don't ask me why.

A big machine for making tunnels.  It looks CGed to me. I think I’ve watched to many movies when real looks fake to me.
