It's a pretty amazing sight. We were there at sundown one evening and had the place to ourselves. You can almost imagine them starting to "hatch". They look so out of place.

The Jeita Grotto is a system of two separate, but interconnected, karstic limestone caves spanning an overall length of nearly 9 kilometres (5.6 mi). The caves are situated in the Nahr al-Kalb valley within the locality of Jeita, 18 kilometres (11 mi) north of the Lebanese capital Beirut. Though inhabited in prehistoric times, the lower cave was not rediscovered until 1836 by Reverend William Thomson; it can only be visited by boat since it channels an underground river that provides fresh drinking water to more than a million Lebanese.

When I was a teenager in church youth group, a few of us went into the pipe chamber for the big pipe organ. A couple kids (not me) started to pull the small pipes out and blow into them. One time, a kid put a couple pipes back into the wrong holes. Well, at the next church service, the organist was playing a song and the wrong notes came out. The church had to pay somebody to come in and test the pipes to find out what was wrong.
