Watch this weirdly fascinating video of a log in a whirlpool

I was trying to figure out, initially, how the heck what seemed like a slow-flowing stream had a whirlpool - until they revealed it was, literally, a drain. (At which point I realized throwing a log into it was a bad idea.) The “someone’s pulled the plug” caption becomes weird in that context - I suppose it was intended as a joke, but since it actually is a drain, I’m not sure what the joke is.
