Crossing the Equator

Ug_07_equator_01 That was last week.

Reminded me that I never got around to see the stuff they have done at the Equator in Uganda - where the water runs in oppposite directions depending what part of the globe you stand on.

Yes, there really are easy ways of making money along the Equator!

Fortunately, you can see this anywhere, so long as you can find someone who knows how to perform the stunt. No equator required! http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a1_161.html

Nevertheless, it's still an entertaining thing to watch.
