One of the things we did while we were home this summer was venture off to Niagra Falls, which is about an hour and a half north of Jamestown, NY, where my parents live. We did the full tourist package... Under the Falls, Maid of the Mist, The Rapids, etc. I'm always amazed at the record of fools who do crazy stunts there, like going over the falls in a barrel, tightrope walking over, or swimming down the rapids. One woman took her dog with her in a barrel and could not be pulled from the whirlpool for 6 hours. She suffocated, of course, but her dog survived by sticking his snout in the only open air hole available... a Darwin Awards candidate if there ever was one back then.
