The kind of water in tropical rivers.  Really cool.  I didn't know "white-water" applied in this manner!

Types of collisions.  Isn't it cool when you realize you know something, but you just didn't know the terms?

Being a Preposition.  I plan to go back and read all of this later; fairly certain that I saw this on Twitter.
