Its Raining Men.......

Today it's pouring down in buckets! It's like we're back in Niagara!

This statue was of a chap who sailed down the Ottawa River centuries ago and used a special nagivational device to do so. The story goes that he lost the device and that some kid found it in a field. Since then it's been passed around museums and now sits in the Museum of Civilization. In the distance there's a statue of this bloke and he's holding the device, but the man who carved the statue had never seen the device and subsequently carved it upside down....... And he's held it that way ever since.
