I will remind both Nepsotic that posting pictures of anything but yourself is strictly against thread rules (viewable in the first post). Don't do it again.

As weird as this is going to sound, that is a cool necklace, but what is it?

It's the Hebrew word 'Chai' (pronounced like the 'ch' in 'loch') in an unusual scripty font - this and this are what it normally looks like. Chai means 'life' and if the letters are switched it becomes the number 18, which is why 18 and multiples thereof are often used in Judaism. For instance, at my bar mitzvah, almost all the cash/book voucher gifts were in multiples of 18.

The horizon above the Grand Canyon is ironically flat.
Not really. The river cut down in to a flat plain. The surfaces on both sides of the canyon are completely featureless for miles in either direction.

Wow, I always wanted to go to the grand canyon, what's it like Nate old boy?
It's mind-bogglingly huge. At first my mind couldn't even comprehend how massive it was. Not quite as colourful as I was expecting, though.
