Sound waves from an 1849 conversation have actually bounced back to scientists studying at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. Below is the amazing sound bite.
Apparently a pioneer family was traveling west to the California territory...and the 217 mile long, up to 17 mile wide, one mile deep Grand Canyon more or less got in the way...
"What in tarnation is THAT BIG ASS CRACK IN THE EARTH???!!!"
"Jedadiah!!! Watch your language---little pitchers have big ears!"
"Little pitchers??--dad-blast it, Adelaide!!! Looky at that HOLE!!! --We are lightin' out for Callyforn-I-A and what happens, I ask you??! The no account DEVIL opens up this big, long, ruinatious HOLE STRAIGHT DOWN TO HADES-- Dad-blast it anyway!"
"Now, settle yourself, Jedadiah. There are always the frequent flyer miles we have yet to partake of."
