#1 I think this practice should spread to drought-stricken areas worldwide. I hear Vegas gets little rain.

I propose a grant-funded study... I'll move to Vegas, post-haste, tuit suite even, and run it. It's the kind of civic-minded guy I am.

#6 #2. Gromky may be right about Nepalese wimyn.
As far as nekkid wimyn making it rain in Vegas, I can only wonder why they don't have nightly downpours between Fremont St. and Tropicana Ave..

#7 Not all of 'em, Gromky. I went to a Gurkha wedding once, and the bride looked darned cute in that sari.

#8 "This is our last weapon, we used it"
Says a lot about their understanding of Gods and men, doesn't it ?

#10 Have you ever seen Nepalese women? Yikes. One word: moustaches.

Which might be why young Napalese men join Maoist political clubs and shot up the country side for fun.

"Son, there's your future"

"Gee, Dad, I think I'll just hang out with the guys a little longer"

#11 Actually Minnesota has been suffering a drought. Do you think we can get those Swedish and Norwegian-American girls to strip down for the cause?

#13 Huh. Seems the same thing's happening in Texas:

Tina Moody of Dripping Springs not only has cut back on her water use, but takes baths in an old clawfoot tub outside her home and uses the water for irrigation.

There's a pic.

Old, old, old pagan practice.

#16 Dang. The Aquifer's down, no rain, 25 days already this summer with 100+ degree temps, San Antonio Water System says I can't water my lawn, etc, and now I come to find out all we needed was naked women.

#17 Everything is better with naked women. Except wedding anniversaries.

#18 Well, someone must have brought in a Herc-load of naked lassies, because it has been raining south of the Alaska Range here for over 12 days. The Alaska Railroad line was repaired yesterday after a washout. The Parks Highway that connects Anchorage to Fairbanks is closed at MP122 due to a washout at a bridge. The governor has declared the Mat-Su borough a disaster area. There is snow on the mountains above 5000 to 6000 ft elevation. It's all due to Global Warming and not signing on with Kyoto. And the 12th Imam is coming out of the well tomorrow because Hell is flooded.

#20 (Mental picture of a sopping wet 12th imam heaving his lardbutt out of the well, with sodden thobe and curly slippers, turban moldy and hanging in rags, pink pickled toesies and fingertips, a nice case of ringworm raging all over)

#21 By their looks I don't think 'appease' is the right verb. Perhaps 'threaten' is more approprate.....

No mental picture needed, Seafarious. Just go to your local Blockbuster and rent OSAMA. That old, bearded Muzzie instructor/pervert at the end of film will creep you out for the next decade, at least.
