Ever get caught in a light drizzle and think, "Ah, this is nice"? WELL WHAT IF IT WAS ACTUALLY HORRIFYING??? Julian explores the several ways air resistance keeps rainstorms from becoming catastrophic bombardments from the sky. Then Trace tries to get inside the mind of Julian's chihuahua. Turns out most of her thoughts boil down to "shake" and "bark".

QUESTIONS

Julian: "What if rain drops did not have a terminal velocity?" from Frederik

Trace: "Do animals think and/or form thoughts in their own language?" from Cooper
