sorry, i gues non british cant view this, but i was up late and there was this great documentary about rain.. yup rain
great show, combining british social history and science, even fashion (development of rainwear after machintosh's invention of waterproof fabric).
http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/jz8gj/also, 2 victorian explorers took of by hot air balloon from wolverhampton gasworks and flew 7 miles above the earth! 7 fucking miles! they almost died of course collecting moisture data.
well worth a watch

I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!
