I have a few problems with this post.
- Where does one find trees that big to make solid wooden 10 foot balls out of?
- These guys are standing in French sewers looking at balls that push poop?
- This is their idea of vacation?

That doesn't look like a sewer picture...the tiling on the wall is too professional. Why go to the trouble in the sewer?

Ari, you are right. We doctored this photo just so we could write this post. The two guys are actually from a shot of the Grand Canyon, and the wall behind them was from a picture I found on a bowling museum website. The Discovery Channel show that Tara talked about is also fake. It actually aired for millions of people to see, but we made it all up and shot it on location in France just to that we could make this post. Man, I thought no one would figure us out. Oh well.

I caught a bit of a Discovery Channel show on sewers (no, really) and learned about the fascinating role that sewer balls play in the Parisian sewers. They're huge, wooden spheres (10-feet in diameter isn't uncommon) that are slid into the round sewer tunnels to push solid waste through the tunnel and toward the treatment plant.
