Yahoo Comment of the Day

I was just looking at a story about the Mayan calendar end of the world thing on Yahoo News (http://news.yahoo.com/expert-mexico-glyphs-dont-predict-apocalypse-040313881.html), and I saw the following comment.

Jeffery: who cares, people will believe anything. get a life, open a book, hug your kids,watch out for zombies- i mean t-baggers. ;)

That pretty much sums it up. For all the wackos out there claiming the Mayans predicted the end of the world stop it. The mayans didn't predict anything. It's not even their calendar. They got it from local tribes that were there before them. Do you seriously think people who slaughtered kids to make sure the sun would come back up are capable of anything intelligent? I'm amazed they thought they would be around that long. Whatever happened to them?

The Largest Pool

San Alfonso del Mar Algarrobo, Chile. The largest swimming pool in the world.

The largest swimming pool in the world belongs to the San Alfonso del Mar beach resort in Algarrobo, Chile. The pool is 1,000 meters long and goes up to 115 feet deep. And here's some more numbers for you. This 19 acre pool holds 66,000,000 gallons of water. Whoa. The San Alfonso pool was developed by a Chilean company called "Crystal Lagoons" for a price of about $2 billion.

Since this man made beach sits just a few feet away from the real beach I think it's a complete waste of money. Sure it's cool. It's freaking awesome. But it would be a lot smarter to have it more inland. You know, so people who don't have easy access to a beach can still have the beach experience.
