Apparently It's Called "Rain"
The oddest thing happened today. Droplets of liquid began to fall from the sky. On closer inspection it turned out to be water, so I decided to find out more about it. According to wikipedia, it's called rain, and it's actually a common occurrence in other parts of the world. Amazing!
In case you're wondering, we're going through a bit of a dry spell in Australia right now - particularly in my neck of the woods.

Apparently there is supposed to be a atmospheric noise type of event that sometimes has these water droplets from the sky that Mabster is refering too.
This is commonly called a Thunderstorm.
We are supposed to have one of these more rare events tonight*!
* That's what the weatherman said anyways

Yeah that sucks... Pete was telling me it looks a bit grim up there...
Matt... I am a bit disappointed you didnt include this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qO8zr31R0c8) in your post. It was a perfect opportunity.

And to that I say, "blame it on the rain," and we're back on topic!!! w00t!!!
Y'know, you *say* it's two words, but behind those two words are actually a bunch of other more talented words doing all the work.
