19. You realize what someone needs to do, right?

There's a tracer dye called Rhodamine WT that is used by the government for various hydrologic studies. They put this in a body of water and the water turns red.

Both the Ten Plagues of Egypt found in the Book of Exodus, and the Seven Last Plagues in the Book of Revelation, include a plague where a body of water turns to blood.

So, here's what I'm thinking: On the morning of this National Jubilee, some kind and generous soul should slip about five miles up the Potomac from Washington and add about 20 pounds of Rhodamine WT to the Potomac. It is absolutely harmless, but I figure the people running this thing will shit themselves when they see the Potomac has been "turned to blood."
