It was a nice music interlude Harvey. We even dragged wagga into it.And yes Clapton Uplugged is one of the best albums ever. AlanK got the Allman Bros.topic introduced.I just ran with it.Ok back to the previously recorded program.
The question to the Jeopardy answer is "How do you drain a freshwater lake like a bath tub and turn it into a salt water lake?" That was fascinating. Thanks wagga.

IMHO, that was the best "what in the world happened here?" yet.
Watched the full 10-minute video, awe struck. And then at 7:35 into the video, there is that clip from Kelvin K Wu, obviously an Asian fellow, but with a completely southern drawl. Never heard that before, either!
at first I wasted time on the negligee clue. the eventual name of Lake Peigneur was forgotten by me and I do not know French, and especially the very obscure french word pei·gnoir : a woman's loose negligee or dressing gown
Most important was Wagga's clue that the lake was no longer a fresh water lake. I first imagined the lake was meriometic. Nope. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meromictic_lake Then I considered maybe it was a polder.. Nope.
What's left - it went dry? How could a lake drain, and have anything to do with an unusually-located "waterfall"? Could it drain straight down? But it did not look like a lake sitting in a crater. What's left? This led me back to how does a lake drain weirdly in France, French colony... no. How about a state? Ta-da, must be Na'leans. The overlooked salt mine clue resurrected itself at this point.
The clues in the pictures are all there. The Wagga tips are all there (I grudgingly acknowledge!) Just have to recognize them. Thanks
