People like to talk about the weather because as it annoys everyone, it can be discussed politely, deflecting controversial topics or intrusive personal histories.

Re: The Unknown Revealed!
It's because of the Last Supper, taking place so shortly before the Crucifixion. It took place on a Friday, and there were 13 men present--Jesus and the 12 disciples. Combine the two and, for some people, that's unlucky.

Because in the northern hemisphere, going north means getting farther and farther from the Equator. And sometimes, those of us in the northern hemisphere forget that this isn't true all around the world.

English is a combination of Danish with the original Anglo-Saxon, mixed thoroughly with Old French, spoken after 1066 by anyone in England who mattered, and studded with Latin, Greek and even some Celtic words. Seasoned with loan words from all around the world, it is no wonder that the seeds of Olde English Oak trees are called acorns, or maybe oakings, and walnuts are actually from walnut trees.

Don't you know that the best rain dances of them all are to wash your car, hold a picnic or barbecue or organise a game of golf? That way the rain will want to come to the party.
