Tom Szieber shares news of an Instagram feed called Subway Creatures, curated by Rick McGuire, a 33-year-old New Jersey native who documents the strange people and activities of the new York subway system.

This isn't the first time McGuire has attracted media attention. The New York Post, CBS2, and Bloomberg have all broadcast news of his Instagram feed. McGuire is even "in the developmental phase of a collaboration with Al Roker Entertainment for a potential television show revolving around Subway Creatures," reports Szieber.

Witness the man trying to get an overloaded shopping cart up an extremely narrow subway escalator.

And a chicken in a pearl necklace sitting in a rider's lap.

And a man wearing nothing but body paint and a thong, hanging from a subway handrail like a Cirque du Soleil performer.

According to McGuire's statements in the article, he's just a devout people watcher, and there's no better place to watch people than the New York subway.
