The wether reports sometimes include warnings about falling through the ice, but some idiot just will not heed this advice because he wants to get out on the ice. Makes me wonder: How many times we don't heed the advice of our profit and leaders and then find ourselves on thin ice?

No, I am not playing the devil's advocate or interested in lingering in the pool, lol. I think I'll stay out of the water for now.

I have a hunch this is pretty accurate as on a tourist site for Zambia (http://www.zambiatourism.com/travel/places/victoria.htm) there is one photo that shows this same spot, with people standing in it. So skeptical that we can be due to all the untruths spread around the Internet, this may have a fair amount of validity. Be worth watching snopes for it. Spiritual analogy is always good, tho.
