speaking of burning water

i remember the time the passaic river in new jersey caught on fire. i am sure glad i dont live around that anymore.

cuyahoga river in cleveland caught fire in late 60's

I used to live in Passaic County, NJ. Now I live in Cleveland. /images/frown.gif

what synergy...i thought you lived north till you smell it...west till you step in it...{ann arbor for those non-buckeyes}

This reminds me of a really funny Mariner's commercial that had some of the players talking about proper ettequite. Omar Visquel was one portion of it, saying "When you're in Cleveland, it's impolite to ask: Is that the river that burned?" His decent, but heavily accented english made it sound hilarious.
