Interesting thoughts you've recently had thread. pic unrelatedI wonder, if its raining, which would make you more wet: walking or running? Or is there some kind of relationship between the speed the rain gets thrown at, and the speed at which you run and there is a certain speed at which you can run to minimise how wet you get?

I usually have sudden thoughts that, at the moment, seem brilliant, but when I think a bit more about them I notice I actually read it before or am sure someone thought of it before, so I end up forgetting them.Anyway, regarding the rain thing, it depends on yourself as much as it depends on the amount and fall speed of the rain. A fatter person should run, because they have a much bigger area to get wet if they walk slowly; thinner people, however, should walk more slowly, because that way they only get their shoulders wet, as opposed to that and their frontal torso. If it's raining too hard, though, then this trick goes for anyone: take an umbrella. You'll get wet anyway.

Ah! This has actually been done. They found that walking gets you more wet.
