h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Driving to work under a leaden sky. Tries to catch up with a local friend who's driving just in front of me but he's as tired as I am (I guess) - he sees neither left nor right but just ploughs on until his exit. Exit Erik...

Suddenly, the skies open up and torrential rain pours down to the point where I'm almost worried about my windshield caving in (OK, almost ).

Then, as by magic, the next tune on the mixed tape I'm not reallly listening to:

"Long as I remember
The rain been comin' down.
Clouds of myst'ry pourin'
Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages,
Tryin' to find the sun;
And I wonder,
Still I wonder,
Who'll stop the rain."

John Fogerty.

Now, isn't that a coincidence?

I wish he had the answer too! Couldn't find parking near the office, so I was soaked when I reached my desk...
