(giggling) I was hoping you'd clear that up. I was going to make
a crack about how much digging they had to do to make the
Grand Canyon.

Boyhowdy.. I sure gave it a shot at this years Superbowl party. We went
through my homemade Limoncello and someone ran home to get their
purchased bottle. I mixed mine with lemonaid...it snuck up on me slowly
but surely....

That's simply Not True. I visited there and saw the commemorative
plaque that they put up. I don't remember the exact date, but I think
it was more like 6,000 years. The gift shop sells postcards of the
engineers riding around on dinosaurs during the original ceremony.

The great panter Mark Tansey has a fine painting of the construction
of the Grand Canyon. I've tried in vain to find a decent online image
