Hah! Jimmie Angle would have been even /cooler/.

At least someone with a cool name like Jimmie Angle got the credit. Imagine if they ended up being called the Laime Falls…

Being the first really means nothing. Leif Erickson was the first to discover America but he did nothing with his discovery. Being first is only significant when it is “being first to bring it to the attention of the world.”

Angel Falls also provided the inspiration for Paradise Falls in the current Pixar movie UP. http://science4grownups.com/archives/2009/05/29/general/the-real-world-behind-ups-paradise-falls-530
