#2 A water dispute in Sri Lanka? Doesnt it rain like 350 days of the year there?

Are the Saudis and Yemen going to have a sand dispute next?

#3 A fun and interesting fact about Saudi Arabia : they have to import all of the sand used for construction in the country. The sand in SA is such crap that it cannot be safely used in concrete or construction.

#4 Well it used to rain 350 days a year Oldcat, but then the UN set up a 'rain redistribution system' and now most of it ends up in a Swiss bank account.

Still, it gives Kofi a chance to 'express deep concern' so that's ok then.

#8 Wait a minute, I thought all this global warming climate change stuff would increase rainfall because it's hotter and, thus, causes more evaporation to "seed" clouds, especially in coastal areas like Sri Lanka. Ah, well, I'm so confused, and I'm not enlightened, so whadda I know?
