Not factoring in the wind, raindrops fall between 7 and 18 mph in still air...
Here is another shining example of stupidity personified...NOT factoring in wind...how about air resistance??? Or the Corealis Effect...you know that term used to describe the earth's rotational forces on an object??? Where exactly does rain fall in still air??? In order for anything to fall in still air...the place to which it is falling...has to be void of atmosphere...as well as completley static...immobile...non rotational...I have been fortunate enough to have had the experiences of living in several different states...North...South...East...and West...and I have yet to see a storm...a scattered shower...or a single rain cloud...stay in one position...storms do what??? They brew...they approach...they blow in...on what??? Surely not bicycles...not in hot air balloons...on what??? The WIND...so not factoring wind into the rate of rainfall equation is akin to saying...Not factoring in...water...a car can travel from California to Hawaii in just under 14 hours...in other words you cannot eliminate a constant within an equation and expect it to calculate a result anywhere near correct...and guess what??? I learned all that in highschool...no Harvard degree required...I could just as easily apply this type of formula to everyday life...NOT factoring in Tony Romo...the Cowboys are the best team in the NFL...Not factoring in obesity...shitty taste in clothes... hair dyes that make parrots look bland Wal-Martians are regular people too...Not factoring in turbulence...the absence of a parachute...the decompression of an airplanes cabin when the door gets yanked open...the Yalie who came up with this little formula should approach the speed of terminal velocity equivalent to... 'Boy this is sure gonna leave a mark'... when I push their ass out of a plane flying at 32,000 feet... my big question is...where in the hell do we grow these people...are institues of higher learning just wastelands of useless information...this is one of the primary reasons our National Debt is so outrageous...people graduate highschool...apply for government backed student loans...they are granted tuiton upon loan approval...they spend 4+ years striving for a little piece of paper in a picture frame... then they proceed to use the education they received to postulate assinine theories and formulae... unfortunately there isn't a useful purpose for this information...they get no financial stipend for concocting such a hairbrain idea...and default on their government backed student loans...and who gets stuck with the bill...the Chinese...since that's who we hafta borrow money from...Not factoring in greed... corruption...lying...cheating...stealing...and borrowing from the biggest Communist country on the planet our illustrious form of government wrongfully titled a Democracy works marvelously...and just so we're clear here...those of you who are wondering..."What the hell does he mean wrongfully titled a Democracy?"...I implore you to recite the Pledge of Allegiance...go ahead...take a few minutes...I'll wait... (whistling...drumming fingers)...didja do it? Now ask yourself this question...did you Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Democracy for which it stands??? Not if you graduated 3rd grade...you pledged to the flag...and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands...which I'm sure the gods at Google will tell you is entirely different from that of a Democracy...see in a REPUBLIC such formulae are allowed to exist without a moments hesitation as to whether or not it's true...in a DEMOCRACY we would have the right to hang...shoot...decpitate using a guillotine with extreme malice all these gene pool polluters...Not factoring in...the gift of gab...the ability to think outside the box...an affinity to entertain thry humorous musings...my debonair charm...and striking good looks...you're just reading the ramblings of a disgruntled veteran with nothing but time on his hands and a computer on his lap!!! LOL!!!
