    Or free rain. English is such a wonderful language isn’t it.

      Huh.

      I honestly don’t think I’ve ever read that particular phrase before. Free rain. It implies the existence of costly rain.

      I’m not sure how anyone would manage that, but it’s fun to ponder :D

        Sounds very cyberpunk.

        Did you think you can just look at the sky, feel the wind on your hair, or experience the rain on your face? Open up that wallet, because none of that is free, especially the rain. Maximum capitalism…

      If you’re worried about homophones, don’t study Japanese

        Obligatory RRJ link. Warning: if you know any Japanese this might undo a lot of it.

        Some times I wonder if some cosmic aliens had a debate about how many collisions one language can have. One of them probably said: “Hold my beer. Give me a planet and 10 million years. I’ll prove you wrong.”

        All that stuff about pyramids being built by aliens was probably just that one alien trying to win a bet by messing around with earth. Maybe Japanese was the end result of that bet.
