90 minutes in the vault and a day spent doing 3 jobs because people were out sick. Oy.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

How terrifying is that?
I guess the falls carry all the urine from terrified swimmers in that pool right over the edge pretty handily?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
How terrifying is that?
Terrifying enough that I had to look away from the pictures because I was fighting fear nausea.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I assume that these pictures are taken during the dryest part of the year, when there's not nearly the current -- or the depth of water -- that would be a problem, at least with care. You notice that just about all the "swimmers" are flat out, which might indicate that they're in about a foot of water....
Still, I think I'd rather climb Mt. Kilimanjaro.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Heights and water? I would be on shore in the fetal position crying.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A cat has written a book about the Pope...
Cat Lovers Appreciate Soul Mate in Vatican
And the recently published “Joseph and Chico: The Life of Pope Benedict XVI as Told by a Cat” (Ignatius Press, 2008) is a children’s book written by Chico with the “aid” of an Italian journalist, Jeanne Perego.
The book, which has been translated into 10 languages and has sold 12,000 copies in the United States, tells of young Joseph Ratzinger’s childhood love for all furry animals and of the adult cardinal’s deep bond with the narrator, who lives in the Bavarian village of Pentling.
“When I’d see that the shades were up next door, I knew he was home,” Chico writes. “Then I’d race over and rub up against his legs. What wonderful times we’ve spent together!”

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If you watch the video you'll see that the pool's deep enough to jump into cannon-ball style and submerge yourself, but the lip where most of the tourists are hanging out is very wide. Some of the guides look like they're dealing with maybe six inches.
If you skip to the end of the second video clip you can see one guy backflipping into the far end of the pool.
That totally tensed me up.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
That pool is crazy. No way I'm ever swimming in it. I'd rather jump out of an airplane.

But how doe you feel about cats writing books about Popes?
