   I'm tired of talking race. As a party trick I have told people that I am knowledgeable about all the things. So ask me a question about something and let's see how many I can answer intelligently.

     @Blackfist Yep. It's a device for lifting water above its original height without electricity by dropping it vertically and using the energy of a portion of the water's fall to push another portion up a separate tube. They have a plunger and a valve that makes a really nice mesmerizing "tap-tap-tap" sound—but I can never remember how they work inside!

     @fgbjr... Water pressure. And yes, it is a guess. I have no idea what a water ram is or what it does.
