What Is Wrong With This Photograph? Part 311

Give me a break.

For this edition of this popular game, can you guess what you believe is wrong — or, at least, seemingly quite bizarre — with this screen shot part 311?

Because I received a special discount, I decided to take the Defensive Driving Online Course which is offered by the American Association of Retired Persons — or AARP, as it is more popularly known — so that I can save money on automobile insurance.

Answer to What is Wrong With This Photograph? Part 310

I stopped to take the following photograph as I recently walked in a residential area near the corner of where two streets intersect.

The walkways on either side of the door do not lead to the entrance of the house — perhaps because that part of the house was added afterwards — and no walkway leads to the steps that do lead to the entrance of the house.

Favorite answer by derek: “The short answer is that the walkway on the property leads to nowhere or rather the wall of the building. It appears that there was an added room in the corner that now blocks off that walkway.

“The longer answer is that there is a myriad of defects and odd construction. The satellite dish is partially blocked by the roof. The siding is warped and has numerous gaps. The columns of the porch do not meet the roof but rather the flared part is slightly below the roof. The warning sign is crooked. There is not a walkway beyond the porch steps. However, living in a house is better than homelessness or living in a prison cell or in a crime ridden neighborhood that requires window bars, so give the people some credit. The money saved by living in a modest home can be saved and invested for retirement in an IRA or similar.”

Favorite comment by rmah: “the sidewalk is for ghosts since they can walk through walls. boo! i hope it’s casper’esque and is friendly!”

  1. What is wrong with the article is the answer to last week’s photograph. The description seems to be of a prior article, not about the picture of the house. As far as this week’s photo, I will wait a little while before answering.

    1. You are correct about the comments, derek. Good catch. I apologize. I am not sure what happened; but they are fixed now.

  2. What is wrong with the photograph is the caption shows that the author does not understand math! The first part is correct; namely that stopping distance is reaction distance plus braking distance. The second part is so wrong for more than one reason.

    Maybe they mean “braking distance”? If so, it’s still wrong because “how far you travel” is not braking distance but rather reaction distance plus braking distance.

    Maybe they mean “breaking distance” as in when you will break the deer? And that does depend on how far you travel, whether not enough or beyond the distance that the deer is standing. The real caption should be “Breaking distance should be longer than your stopping distance!”
