but don't drink the water


The latest thing in Venice is the campaign to rid the city of unsightly plastic water bottles by encouraging denizens of that fair city to drink tap water. The ad slogan is loosely, Real Water. If you've ever been to Venice, the idea of drinking the tap water is, well, disgusting. I much prefer this use of the Grand Canal.

This snazzy little car was invented by a Venetian who got tired of waiting for water taxis and decided to solve the traffic problem himself. No word on the success of this venture. But it's mighty cute.
