Dam Is Not a Swear:
Started: 1931
Completed: 1935
Reason: Reclaiming of Land

Helpless Information: This dam was not created by the cross-dressing former CIA director (Director Hoover). Now was it funded by the Vacuum company (Hoover). Rather, it is named after the former President of the United States (President Hoover).

You and I both know that this photo is big because we're too busy working on the Vegas backlog to really pay attention to the Dam. But seriously, which is funnier? Las Vegas or the Hoover Dam? I think we've made the right choice.
