FASCINATING FACT #4: Before missing your point I hit it and missed it by all possible routes in the universe.

Does that mean you can see the back of your head?

Damn you atmospheric physicists, couldn't you have gone for a hard physics field like one of the mechanics or relativity?

TSK. That's EXACTLY what I've been reeling off because there ARE no fascinating facts in the atmosphere!

Read you like a book sir. Times like these you wish you had took astrophysics but hey, at least you know something about sunspots and clouds and... er... um, it's not media studies at least.

Nah. Don't want to go to La Palma or Hawaii to perform simple and easy wor...

oh god.

There there.

By this stage it's all largely the same anyway, be it astrophysics, cosmology, atmospherics or particle physics. The underlying science changes but the real grind is just figuring out how to pull out a quiet signal from a loud noise using my good friend mister statistics.

But it could be so much better and you could be reeling off factoids relevant to your field instead of nearby ones.

Besides, we all know all the cool stuff happens outside the troposphere.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK

Oh, I know you're right. I'm no stratospheric man.

Well, I'm not trying to make you regret your choice, weatherman. I'm just saying is all.
