Located in a Japanese mall called Canal City, this fountain is programmed immaculately to "paint" the air with falling water.

super neato! I think it the water would stand out more if there was a solid color backdrop (at least for the filming of this video) - or perhaps a thin gap of multi-colored lighting aligned with the water?

@Johnny Cat: If you are right about his intent, that makes him a jerk for pointing it out in such a crass manner. If you're wrong about it, then he is an even bigger jerk. It is bad for him in either case. The word "immaculately" was not incorrectly used either. =) (smilies are terrible grammar! ;oP)

@Spy: What does one have to do with the other? I decry the activities of the Japanese whaling industry as well. That fact has nothing to do with how cool this fountain is. Why would you even make that comment?

Young Audio techs ALWAYS think they know more than us old guys.

Fact is Audio Designers are always better with age unless they studied the old guys and their methods from a young age.

Why should it be different in ancient Memphis than in Modern Memphis?

The ancient architechs obviously knew what they were doing - even if we don't understand how they did it.

For some stupid reason, modern man is so arrogant that he thinks if he can't figure something out then his predecessors just got lucky...

Ancient engineers and inventors were in a situation where there was no 'status quo' or solidly set assumptions to prevent the creative process. Some good ideas come from trial and error, and usually the best ones become known due to the error. I've also found that technological breakthroughs happen not from the constant improvement of the leading technology, but the stepping back and looking at something in the past and making it better with currant resources.

Reading through these I have a feeling that even though these mysteries are scientifically proven like the face on mars, people will still cling to delusional beliefs that it's just a cover-up to keep the truth from coming out. One of those strange quirks of human nature I guess.
