To recap the title of this entry:
"Rain! HUZZAH!!!"
And that's about all, lol... lightning still flashes on the horizon, so it's not a good idea to linger too long online. I'll have to get around to the next promised topics -- Thoughts on "One Degree", A.I.: Artificial Intelligence Roleplaying, and Wicca -- tomorrow.
The good news, of course, is that the thunderstorm broke the obscene heatwave that's had us locked in its grip for the past several days. It's now 20 degrees Celcius instead of 36 degrees C, and promises to get downright chilly tonight (bliss, sheer blisssssssssss!) -- heck, maybe the G4 will actually work tomorrow.
Now, the promised link: "The Infamous Exploding Whale of Oregon County". No, I'm NOT making it up. It's a true story of sustained, and I mean actively, thoughtfully SUSTAINED human stupidity -- complete with the video of the newscast that documents it in all its horror. In my books, it ranks right up there on the Strange-O-Meter with The Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919... but that's a story for another time.

(Er... what are these strange little characters I'm seeing after the entry? If anyone can solve the mystery, please let me know...)
