I'm Moving

Well, it's autumn and in some parts of the world that means it's time for the grape harvest.

The Italian town of Marino, according to a BBC report, traditionally celebrates the harvest by disconnecting the water main to the fountain in the central square and running sparkling white wine through it. The fountain literally gushes champagne and every one can take a cup or glass and have a sip.

Except that this year, the town employees disconnected the wrong water main and surprised residents around the square turned on their house taps to find they had hot and cold running champagne. Sounds like those workers hit the champagne supply a bit before they got to work that day.

What a place! I'm moving.
