    Help Me Out, Guys...

    I saw a photo of an ingenious lock on a (Dutch? Danish?) canal. Two giant tubs in a giant rotating arm. No pumps, just gates and a rotisserie kinda thing.

    I think I saw it here, but I can't seem to find it when I search.

    Sound familiar?

    I remember seeing that, too! But I have no idea where to find it again.

    I don't know that fancy stuff either. I thought the source was Amsterdam.

    If I understand you guys correctly (the two tubs rotating), it HAS to be the Falkirk Wheel. It's in the UK (Scotland), and looks like this:

    Thanks Tin, we both enjoyed watching the "victims fall in the water" hehehe
    I think that shows we both have a similar mental disorder (childish slapstick)
