    Thanks for posting

    Interesting Fact.

    The name "Hoover Dam" was originally coined by Claude to describe an expletive uttered when he stubbed his toe on a piece of merchandise in his store.

      Legend has it that the Hoover Dam is used as storage for Claude's nitroglycerin.

    I've never been there but have been to the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington. I don't think it's much smaller than Hoover, but was quite daunting. It's hard to imagine one bigger. I'd like to see Hoover close and personal.

      Yes, best to go and see it before it gets destroyed yet again by another movie director, groan!

      San Andreas did a great job, but too cliched for my taste!

      Superman didn't show up either, damn it!
