Today, I went hiking with my family. A local had told us about the trail, saying the two mile walk would lead us to a seventy-foot waterfall. After seven miles of trekking in the sweltering sun with no food, we finally found the waterfall. It was barely ten feet tall. FML

At least you got some exercise. And a ten foot waterfall is better than no waterfall at all

Hell, it's still a waterfall! Sounds pretty cool no matter what the size.

Never trust them locals... Will do anything to get some extra tourism.

No matter what size the guide is, 70 feet should still be 70 feet!

Or maybe he said a SEVEN mile walk and a TEN-FOOT waterfall, however due to faults in the spacetime fabric, not acquiring 1.21 gigawatts and various translational errors due to the TARDIS of power it became two miles and seventy feet.

That has got to be the strangest and most misplaced Doctor Who reference I have ever read. What on earth is a TARDIS of power?

It was a mistake, it was meant to be 1.21 gigawatts of power but I botched the backspacing and re-typing, I'm on my phone you see. Anyway I'm ashamed of this comment, seppuku may be on the cards.

I thought 1.21 Gigawatt, was a "Back to the Future" reference.

It is, it was meant to be a mix of references that clearly backfired. Now I'm gonna make like a tree and get outta here.

No #75, it's a back to the future reference.

Did he also say 7 miles instead of 2?

The way I've seen a lot of people guessing on distance, it probably was two miles.

Unless the FML has to do with religion may be wise not to bring it up. Not everyone is Christian.

I had the problem of saying merry Christmas to my friends and strangers, they all just said they're athiest, and don't celebrate it. I just thought that's how most of them are. Good to know they aren't all like that

It looks like you went to a different waterfall and it was the wrong trail. In any case I envy you for being able to to such a long exercise family bonding experience
