Hypothetical: How would the world be different if...

[Rain Man]

...if raindrops were really, really big? I'm talking the size of a 55-gallon barrel.

The total volume of water in rain would be the same, but instead of a bunch of little drops we had a smaller number of barrel drops?

Let us ponder this on a cloudy Wednesday.

Perhaps our skulls would be the strength of cast iron.

Which might be convenient for frying chicken.

There would be a lot of erosion.

As a side effect of that electrical wires would be located much higher. Or maybe they'd be underground to start with since they themselves wouldn't survive a direct hit.

Perhaps guys like me with a cone shaped penis would be considered more desirable by women.

I mean, assuming we were better looking and more socially adept.

I think that would only protect you from the rain while you were lying down, though, so I'm not sure it would have the same value as a headcone.

True, but perhaps the cone shape itself would be sexually attractive. Maybe a sign of masculinity. The Cone Of Manhood. Chicks dig protection. Or so I hear.
