Doomsday Watch: Antimatter in our midst

This isn't really a doomsday scenario but it is too cool not to share:

Please no rain on July 15th, we’ve had enough!

St. Swithin's day if thou dost rain For forty days it will remain St. Swithin's day if thou be fair For forty days 'twill rain nae mair (no more) St. Swithin’s day is July 15th. I think it has already rained for 40 days and 40 nights. It is raining now. I understand the weather is quite nice in London and Seattle. Is this a result of global warming?

If you don’t like the weather just wait a few weeks!

For over two weeks it has been raining everyday. Last night was no exception but we woke this morning to the sight of blue skies and sunshine. I'm sure that the soaked earth will be fueling some interesting thunderstorms. At least thunder and lightning will be more exciting than a dull gray drizzle. During yesterdays morning walk (in the rain) we discussed a Ray Bradbury story " The Long Rain " which was included in the 1969 film " The Illustrated Man ".
