Wait, what if everything we believed about Friends is actually totally wrong?

Suddenly nothing makes sense, thanks to an eye-opening discovery by twitter user @thetedfox. On Friday morning, he pointed out one very strange thing about the cover of the Season 4 DVD set, and enlisted the help of obsessive fans to figure out what exactly is going on.

There are all six of your favorite friends snuggled up in bed together, and they all seem to be taking an afternoon snooze -- except for one Rachel Green, who is literally staring into our soul. What is going on here?

Using the hashtag #FriendsGate, plenty of people have attempted to crack the case. And their theories do not disappoint.

And this especially good one.

But one person has really gone above and beyond in the just crazy enough to be true department.

Damn. Now our minds are blown, and we're all left wondering who will be there for us when the rain starts to fall.
