The Vortex in Lake Peigneur
In the 1980s, a gulf oil drilling company was drilling a hole in a lake in Louisiana and just happened to drill into a big salt mine that was underneath. This basically opened a vortex that caused the lake to entirely empty into the mine, sucked in a large area of land around the lake, and make the gulf flow north onto land for two days in a giant 150 ft waterfall (the photo above). That would be a thing to see.

Feel gravity by taking a bath!
A bath can be a lovely thing, when in an 'altered' mood. I recommend once you're done, lay back in the bath, and let the water drain around you. The pull of gravity increases as your buoyancy in the water decreases. It's a reaally weird feeling.

Have a google Earth Experience
Think of a place that was really important in your life, but you haven't been to in a while. Go to that place in Google Earth, and do streetview, and wander around. See what memories come up! Amazing way to experience a vivid drive down memory lane.
