Low tides have left Venice's canals dry, with water levels dropping to -18 inches from a 19 inch average, months after heavy flooding.

Do you know how the all the Wops got to New York back in the 1920's?

The first one swam across the Atlantic, then the rest of them walked across on the grease.

Two blondes shared an apartment, and one day the apartment caught on fire. The roommates rushed out to the balcony, and one yelled "Help! Help! Help!"

Then the other yelled "Help! Help! Help!"

But no help came.

Then one said "Hey, maybe it would help if we yelled together?"

"Yes!", the other agreed.

So they both started yelling "Together! Together! Together!"
