Rain, and other unusual happenings!

Singaporeans everywhere cheered today, when the long-drawn dry spell was broken (there was some rain yesterday too but not so much). Jose Feliciano's song "Rain" (not Madonna's version) says it all:

World Water Day is supposed to be marked on March 22 worldwide. Even the PUB, Singapore's water agency, says so on its website:

Come to think of it, what's the big deal about a dog driving a car? I've seen a teddy bear at the wheel of a car when I was in Jeju, South Korea:

Hoax-Slayer dismisses the scam possibility. But the golden rule applies: If the country code looks strange, you are not likely to have a long-lost rich uncle from that country bequeathing you a fortune. So stick with the advice from this public service ad:
