Gray Matters by Stuart Carlson and Jerry Resler for July 10, 2014

Did you forget the blizzards of Wisconsin?

Then there’s the lightning.

You should never ask those kind of questions – you always find out the answer.

Did you know you will get wetter running in the rain to your car or door than if you just walk?Mythbusters proved it; and MB can’t be wrong, can they?

The wind of course.

Wind blowing in the direction indicated by the rain as drawn would not invert that umbrella.

Al S., they did invent a better umbrella. It was clear plastic and had a longer dome that fit over the head and torso. It worked, but people thought they looked silly so the never really caught on. Also, there’s one selling now called the Senz storm umbrella that is 10 times more resistant to wind than a regular umbrella.
