A message received from the team read, " I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor, and surviving. "

80-day voyage down the world's longest river

I'm not a famous explorer, but I think I would go UP the river to look for the source.

How does one go DOWN to the mouth of a river?

Look, I hate to be the skunk at the orphans' picnic but geography doesn't seem to be Mr. Arthur Asiimwe strong point; and this editor at Reuter's should be kicked in the pants.

What the heck am I talking about? "Team says it finds new source of Nile". Which Nile???

The Nile River of travel posters is a blending of two rivers -- the Blue Nile and the White Nile, which come together at Khartoum in the Sudan; the White Nile flowing in from the east and the Red Sea; the Blue Nile from the southwest in the area of the Congo.

P.S. And yes, the Nile does flow south to north from the African interior to the Med. Sea. I know, I know, its kind of wonkers. But remember, the sources of the Nile are in the (relatively) highlands of Africa and flow downwards -- in this cause north -- to the flat plains of the Egyptian delta.
