Fixing a Hole

(YouTube link)

A culvert in Brazil became clogged, leading to water flooding over the road. Neighborhood men gathered to unclog the drain. When the key piece of debris was removed, the power of gravity sucked a boy and his father right under! They emerged on the other side of the road, alive and apparently unhurt, but their reactions are quite different. The young boy feels he’s been through a thrill ride, and would probably do that again. The older man takes a moment to ponder his mortality. An earlier video left us wondering if they were okay. Another video speculates on the kid’s experience of the drain. -via reddit

Wikipedia said this: "It is argued that this song is the single most performed and most translated piece of music on Earth"

I have never heard that song before. Ever.

I, too, was trapped on this ride for about 45 minutes when I was a very young teen. The repetitive music quickly becomes a form of torture that has been recognized and banned under the Geneva Conventions, and the creepy, dirty, cracked and peeling animatronic dolls were frightening.
I refused to go on this ride ever since.

It's lovely! How can you hate on ''It's a Small World"? Dude. I saw it with my folks when I was a child and I STILL remember it. It's sweet. Sweet is fine, you know. Kids like sweet. So do many adults.

Children's Choirs. Uuuugh. I, however,like it's a small world. I like to drive my husband crazy with it, but he is always amazed that I know all the words. It really is a short song...

I can understand people not liking bagpipes, accordions, banjos, or synthesizers, even though I'm quite a bagpipe fan. But harps? The harp has such a beautiful sound!
