playing in fountains and other alternative entertainment (in/near RI)? it's summer, and i want to go splash around in some fountains. but i don't know of any good ones (especially the ones with multiple spouts out of the ground). got any recommendations? any other RI/MA-specific alternative activities are welcome as well (and yes, i have read related posts).

Danger! Water contains high levels of hydrogen.

WTF is up with this sign? Background: I live in Louisville, Kentucky. Today I was downtown at the big park on the riverfront shooting reference for a project, and I saw this sign beside of a fountain. Now, since there are two atoms of Hydrogen in each molecule of water already, what's up with this? Is the city parks department pranking us? Is there a legitimate situation in which flowing water at an outside fountain would somehow be infused with extra hydrogen? Discuss.

CatFilter: what are your experiences with circulating drinking fountains for cats? Are they worth the extra time & expense, or just junk? Any good ones you'd recommend? I have two cats who love to watch water move. They both like to slide the waterbowl across the kitchen floor to disturb the water a bit before they drink -- visitors are beginning to wonder why my cats' dish is always sitting in the middle of the kitchen.

I think it would be good for both of them if they drank more water, but I don't need this product to be a solution to any sort of problem; just a nice amusement for my cats that won't be too loud or break after a week of use.

I'm checking out the Catit and the Drinkwell -- other suggestions would be welcome.
