Some of them are pretty clever. I'm not sure about the electric going through the pool though :^D

The power strip in the pool pic is not American. Those are European plugs. I doubt the people in the pic even speak English.

Reminds me of my brother, I told him he was definitely a redneck. He goes swimming in the pool with his Nascar hat on.

At this point, "Redneck" is a state of mind, and not so much a regional thing :D

I live on the coast of South Carolina. I was driving down to visit family staying on Edisto Beach, SC. I drive by a single wide trailer that had been lifted on 8 stacks of cinder blocks about 20ft high. These people were living in a single wide trailer 20ft in the air sitting on cinder blocks. I just couldn't believe it. I understand 4-5ft to deal with surging waters but 20ft is insane. They had to use a crane to get it up there. I can't imagine it would take more than a 70mph wind to blow it over.

So is it ok to use the term, Afro-engineering?

Garrett Morgan used Afro-engineering when he invented the traffic light and the gas mask. :)

I know which one you are talking about! I'm originally from Beaufort.
