Busy week!

There's a lot going on this week, all over the country. Here are 3 events I've considered, yet I can only make it to one...can you guess which one????

11th Annual Gathering of the Juggalos (August 12-15, Cave-in-Rock, Illinois)

The Society of American Archivists Annual Meeting (August 11-15, Washington, D.C.)

U.S. Masters Swimming's 2010 Summer Nationals (August 9-12, San Juan, Puerto Rico)

Niagara Falls email forward

I get a lot of (unintentionally) hilarious email forwards from family members, and there are also lots of forwards with cool pictures. Sometimes both!

Hilarious part: "My friend's mother had a cousin living in Niagara Falls that year." (that year = 1911) This is about as credible as "my sister's friend was dating a guy who worked in a morgue, and one day she got a bad skin infection..." or "my mom's friend was riding the schoolbus home one afternoon when a girl stuck her head out the window...right beside her identical twin" (I don't know why the twins part is crucial but whatev). Basically: yeah right.

Cool pictures part:




Couldn't crop down that sepia one, but I'll leave you with this tidbit from the original email--not the animated GIF of "awesome!":

I THINK NIAGARA HAD VIAGRA!
