                The winter of 1932 was so cold that Niagara Falls froze completely solid
                The flow of water was stopped completely over both falls on March 29th 1848 due to an ice jam in the upper river for several hours. This is the only known time to have occurred. The Falls did not actually freeze over, but the flow was stopped to the point where people actually walked out and recovered artifacts from the riverbed!

                Collectively they are called Niagara Falls. Categorized by these three names: American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and the Canadian Falls.

                  Could it be that there a little goldfish in my ancestry? It would certainly explain a lot.

                    If Canada hadn't sold most of it's land back when, the U.S. we know today would probably be about half the size it is now.

                      "Dreamt" is the only English word that ends in the letters "mt".
                      How about daydreamt?

                        A cat's ear pivots 180 degrees. They have 30 muscles in each ear, and use twelve or more muscles to control their ear movement.

                          Or in this case with your link: "The flow of info from that site was stopped completely over the internet on 22 may 2003 due to a DNS jam in the upper server"
