Hello all! It has come to my attention that in Europe (Mostly Germany-Austria-Hungary), the rivers have been overflowing like crazy. I read an article saying that the Rhein has overflowed. This is, to me, EXTREMELY funny because:
1) At the end of Wagner's Ring Cycle (Götterdämmerung), the Rhein overflows its banks and washes away all the ashes from the funeral pyre. The Rhein is currently overflowing and washing a ton of stuff away
2) This year is Wagner's 200th birthday.
In conclusion...
For the year of Wagner's 200th, the Rhein decided to overflow and 'fulfill' the events in Götterdämmerung.
