UKIP leader Nigel Farage tweeted this photo of himself Friday evening, with a simple question for his followers.
Can anyone name what's behind me in this picture?
It turns out, many people can.
@Nigel_Farage The sea, dumbass.
And so the internet was quick to respond with lots of potential answers to Farage's question.

Some shared their sartorial concerns.
@Nigel_Farage Your last vestige of dignity, judging by those trousers.

@Nigel_Farage Nothing. Whatever it was, it took one look at your mustard trousers and ran away.
Others had a bit of trouble seeing in the first place.
. @Nigel_Farage Can't see clearly, Nigel, can you just take a step back?

. @Nigel_Farage it's the last breath of your lost soul, clawing the ether for desperate release and leaving scratches on ectoplasmic skins.
@Nigel_Farage Is it your dark fortress where imprisoned children howl themselves to sleep in the endless night?
Some worried for Farage's safety.
