#2 "They Were My Gummy Bears."
Answer. It's another Haribo jelly that got mixed in not in his package.

#4 "I Saw This by the Side of the Road in the Netherlands. What is it?"
Answer. They are meant to help bats orient themselves until recently cut trees grow up. Bats need to hear the reflection of their sound to know where they are going.
#5 "That Looks Like a Human Brain!"
Answer. It's dog poop.
#6 "Why Does This Gate Have so Many Padlocks?"
Answer. The gate can be opened by unlocking only one padlock. Because of this gate design, multiple people can use the gate, and if one of them loses their keys, only their padlock needs to be replaced. Unlike a single padlock with multiple keys, where you would have to give multiple people a new key.

Answer. It's expansion foam used in woodwork. Manufacturers like to color them for brand recognition or to identify the intended use. All the marks are there. Even coloring, molded outer shell, and a random expansion pattern that I know of.

Answer. They're good luck amulets that are intentionally thrown into the water.
#13 "Why Does this STOP Looking so Weird?"
Answer. These are apertures, usually used so that the sign can be read at a sharp angle. They are also called directional shields. You are much more likely to see them on traffic signals.
