Got this in an email at work, thought it was pretty cool. [SIZE=2]**_[COLOR=blue][FONT=Verdana]In Zimbabwe , Africa, you will find the magnificent Victoria Falls at a height of 128m.

That’s fucking awesome!!! I would 100% do that, and I wanna look up how much it would cost… right now! Although I wouldn’t necessarily want my family there, kids sometimes do stupid things ☹ ---

Awesome, but it looks _relatively_ safe based on how little water is actually flowing over in that spot. Would suck if a sudden rush of water came from upstream though. Put +1 on not letting my kid do it. ---

And then be like “gotcha!” and turn the flow back on and wash everyone over. Preferrably the American side so that everyone splatters on the rocks. :tup: We actually have reduced the flow of the falls quite a bit. Before the 1950’s they used to erode about 3’ per year. Now it’s 1’ every 10 years. Or at least that’s what the little trivia thing by the window at Skylon Tower restaurant said. :shrug: ---
