Iguaçu Falls

I accidentally came across this page. What a tremendous water fall!!

As reported on Wikipedia; U.S President Roosevelt’s wife (Eleanor Roosevelt) reportedly exclaimed “Poor Niagara!” upon seeing Iguaçu,

It sure looks magnificent.

Current age … in years

I was just filling out this graduate school survey when i was confronted with this nifty little question:

Current age in years

ya3ni seriously, did you really have to specify the unit of measure for this question ? Is it likely that someone will answer you in a unit other years? “well, i am about 280 months old”. Age in months is of course acceptable for babies, but i think that if you are in you’re twenty’s and you’re still measuring your age in months, then something is wrong here. How about i answer them in metric time units just out of spite :-) that’ll be something.

imminent Fire

Huh?! .. i just discovered that there are two fire alarms *and* a sprinkler in my (small) bedroom.  Apparently it is expected to combust at any moment!!
