In a message dated 98-01-25 10:57:28 EST, you write: << I've also found contrary to the popular "stand still" theory, it's better to run in the rain so fewer drops land on you and you stay drier. :-) >> I have a problem with this analysis :-)) if you do laps in a pool, you get the same wetness not withstanding your speed of travel.Since when you run through a given space there are the same number of drops of rain, the only difference is which drops hit you, not the total number of drops. hence walking or running through a given cylinder of space will get you equally wet. Any math experts out there care to refute my theory :-)) Jim
