--> The Giant's Causeway is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. It is located on the northeast coast of Northern Ireland.. It was declared a World Heritage Site byUNESCO in 1986. The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns arehexagonal, although there are also some with four, five, seven and eight sides. The tallest are about 12 metres high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres thick in places.
The Giant's Causewayt is the most popular tourist attraction in Northern Ireland.
Legend has it that the Irish giant Finn McCool built the causeway to walk to Scotland to fight his Scottish counterpart Benandonner. One version of the legend tells that Fionn fell asleep before he got to Scotland. When he did not arrive, the much larger Benandonner crossed the bridge looking for him. To protect Fionn, his wife Oonagh laid a blanket over him so he could pretend that he was actually their baby son. In a variation, Fionn fled after seeing Benandonner's great bulk, and asked his wife to disguise him as the baby. In both versions, when Benandonner saw the size of the 'infant', he assumed the alleged father, Fionn, must be gigantic indeed. Therefore, Benandonner fled home in terror, ripping up the Causeway in case he was followed by Fionn.
Another variation is that Oonagh painted a rock shaped like a steak and gave it to Benandonner, whilst giving the baby (Fionn) a normal steak. When Benandonner saw that the baby was able to eat it so easily, he ran away, tearing up the causeway.
The "causeway" legend corresponds with geological history in as much as there are similar basalt formations (a part of the same ancient lava flow) at the site of Fingal´s Cave on the isle of Staffa in Scotland.

-->

Since the basalt columns look like pavers making a pathway into the sea, many early viewers of the structure thought it had to be the ruins of a man made causeway. But, who could have made such a grand structure? Only Giants of course





The Organ is a geological structure in walking distance to the Middle Causeway
The Middle Causeway is what most people think of as the Giant's Causeway but from what I gather, the entire area of basalt structures is collectively referred to as the Giant's Causeway

So you think you're computer-illiterate? Check out the following excerpts from a Wall Street Journal article by Jim Carlton
10. An exasperated caller to Dell Computer Tech Support couldn't get her new Dell Computer to turn on. After ensuring the computer was plugged in, the technician asked her what happened when she pushed the power button. Her response, "I pushed and pushed on this foot pedal and nothing happens." The "foot pedal" turned out to be the computer's mouse.
11. Another customer called Compaq tech support to say her brand-new computer wouldn't work.. She said she unpacked the unit, plugged it in, and sat there for 20 minutes waiting for something to happen. When asked what happened when she pressed the power switch, she asked "What power switch?"
12. True story from a Novell NetWire SysOp: Caller: "Hello, is this Tech Support?" Tech: "Yes, it is. How may I help you?" Caller: "The cup holder on my PC is broken and I am within my warranty period. How do I go about getting that fixed?" Tech: "I'm sorry, but did you say a cup holder?" Caller: "Yes, it's attached to the front of my computer." Tech: "Please excuse me if I seem a bit stumped, It's because I am. Did you receive this as part of a promotional, at a trade show? How did you get this cup holder? Does it have any trademark on it?" Caller: "It came with my computer, I don't know anything about a promotional. It just has '4X' on it."
At this point the Tech Rep had to mute the caller, because he couldn't stand it. The caller had been using the load drawer of the CD-ROM drive as a cup holder, and snapped it off the drive!

John Christopher Depp, widely known as Johnny
Depp (born June 9, 1963 in Owensboro, Kentucky),
is a well-known film actor.

Depp, of Cherokee Indian, Irish and German descent, was raised in
Miramar, Florida where his family moved in 1969.
His mother bought him a guitar around
the age of 13 and Depp began playing in garage
bands.

His parents divorced in 1978, when he was 15, and
it was a year later that he decided to drop out of
school to become a rock musician. He played with a
band named "The Kids," who had modest local
success. The band set out for Los Angeles,
California to try and get a record deal, changing
their name to "Six Gun Method." He also married
Lori Anne Allison on December 28, 1983.

When a deal never materialized, he worked many odd
jobs to support himself, such as a telemarketer
for pens and his wife became a make-up artist.
Later, he got into acting when his wife introduced
him to actor Nicolas Cage, who advised Depp to
turn to acting to support himself and his wife and
also introduced him to his agent Tracey Jacobs.
He and Lori
divorced two years after marrying.
He first gained widespread notice in 1987, in the
TV police drama 21 Jump Street, and then in a
number of movies, where he distinguished himself
as an acclaimed lead actor who is known for his
quirky roles, beginning with Edward Scissorhands
in 1990. He is able to play a wide variety of
roles, from comedy (Pirates of the Caribbean: The
Curse of the Black Pear to serious drama (Donnie Brasco), to action
(Once Upon a Time in Mexico), and atmospheric
thrillers (From Hell). Depp also directed and
starred in The Brave, demonstrating his sympathy
for the plight of Native Americans. Depp is one
quarter Cherokee.

Depp is also noted for his regular appearances in
the films of director Tim Burton; they have made
five films together to date: Edward Scissorhands,
Ed Wood and Sleepy Hollow
Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory and the upcoming Corpse Bride.

Depp is the father of two children, Lily-Rose
(1999) and Jack (2002), with his longtime
companion, French singer and actress Vanessa
Paradis. He and his family divide their time
between Los Angeles and a villa in the South of
France. He has also dated actresses Sherilyn Fenn,
Jennifer Grey, Winona Ryder, and model Kate Moss.

SPEAKING NIVEL BÁSICO SEGUNDO

The Niagara Falls are massive waterfalls on the Niagara River, straddling the international border between the Canadian province of Ontario and the U.S. state of New York. The falls are 27 km north-northwest of Buffalo, New York and 120 km south-southeast of Toronto, Ontario, between the twin cities of Niagara Falls, Ontario, and Niagara Falls, New York.
Niagara Falls is composed of two major sections separated by Goat Island: Horseshoe Falls, on the Canadian side of the border and American Falls on the American side. The smaller Bridal Veil Falls also is located on the American side, separated from the main falls by Luna Island. Niagara Falls were formed when glaciers receded at the end of the Wisconsin glaciation (the last ice age), and water from the newly-formed Great Lakes carved a path through the Niagara Escarpment en route to the Atlantic Ocean. While not exceptionally high, the Niagara Falls are very wide. More than 168,000 m³ of water falls over the crest line every minute in high flow, and almost 110,000 m³ on average. It is the most powerful waterfall in North America.
The Niagara Falls are renowned both for their beauty and as a valuable source of hydroelectric power. Managing the balance between recreational, commercial, and industrial uses has been a challenge for the stewards of the falls since the 1800s.

1. Compaq is considering changing the command "Press Any Key" to "Press Return Key" because of the flood of calls asking where the "Any" key is.
2. AST technical support had a caller complaining that her mouse was hard to control with the dust cover on. The cover turned out to be the plastic bag the mouse was packaged in.
3. Another Compaq technician received a call from a man complaining that the system wouldn't read word processing files from his old diskettes. After trouble- shooting for magnets and heat failed to diagnose the problem, it was found that the customer labeled the diskettes then rolled them into the typewriter to type the labels.
4. Another AST customer was asked to send a copy of her defective diskettes. A few days later a letter arrived from the customer along with Xeroxed copies of the floppies.
5. A Dell technician advised his customer to put his troubled floppy back in the drive and close the door. The customer asked the tech to hold on, and was heard putting the phone down, getting up and crossing the room to close the door to his room
