How to get rid of Rains
Wednesday, July 18, 2007
If you are from the Asian subcontinent, you'd know what a Monsoon is and what a rainy season actually means. Nothing much happens in this part of the world (except S. America); of course Hurricanes create havoc in the southern part of the States, its nothing as compared to the former.
So, as many of you know, Beiging is hosting the next Olympics (2008). Events are scheduled to begin on Aug 8th and per Chinese officials, there's a 50% chance of rain playing spoil spot during the opening ceremony and a 50% chance of rains during the closing ceremony. So what to do ?Well, they're trying to get rid of the rains by sending out rockets into the atmosphere. You heard it right - send out rockets to disperse rain clouds - isn't that nice ;-). The only problem they are having right now is that there are fewer rain-clouds this year to test these rockets out.
I just have one thing to say - don't mess with the rain gods :)
