Joke of the Day:
A couple had been married for 25 years and also celebrated their 60th birthdays together. During the celebration a fairy appeared and said that because they had been such a loving couple all those years, she would give them one wish each.
The wife wanted to travel around the world. The fairy waved her wand and boom! She had the tickets in her hand.
Next, it was the husband's turn. He paused for a moment, then said shyly, "Well, I'd like to have a woman 30 years younger than me."
The fairy picked up her wand and boom! He was 90.

Victoria Falls, Zambia - also known as The Smoke That Thunders, is a waterfall in southern Africa on the Zambezi River at the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe.
While it is neither the highest nor the widest waterfall in the world, it is classified as the largest, based on its width of 5604 feet and height of 354 feet, resulting in the world's largest sheet of falling water. Victoria Falls is roughly twice the height of Niagara Falls, and well over twice the width of its Horseshoe Falls.
Have a safe and fangtastic Sunday! Brock
