the most memorable thing you've ever seen or done?

Mine is the 1999 solar eclipse on the Isles of Scilly. It was awesome in the old fashioned sense of the word. I was gob-smacked.

Seen? The reef around the island when I spent time on holiday in the Maldives.

Standing on the spot where JFK was shot .

JFK was shot from a moving car so according to Newton there is no point in space at which he was shot; only a point in time.

So why is there a big metal cross marked on the ground. Ok I looked out of the window in the book depository he was supposedly shot from.

Fair enough. The cross can only mark the area he was in when he was shot.

The grassy knoll was 15 feet away from where he was shot. The book depository was 150 feet away. I think Minty is right.

The grassy knoll is an old favourite, but the book depository is more likely to be the place according to recent analysis by ballistics experts.

I thought an FBI agent shot him from the grassy knoll. The day after I visited the spot someone lay down on that metal x and shot himself.

I always thought it a pity that I hadn't went to the zoo the day before and book depository the next day and i may have seen the man shoot himself.
