- Two aliens were visiting Earth to research the local customs. They split
- up so that they could learn more in the time allowed.
-
- When they met to share their knowledge the first alien told of a religious
- ceremony he/she/it had seen.
-
- "I went to a large green field shaped like a meteorite crater. Around the
- edges several thousand worshipers gatherer. Then two priests walk to the
- centre of the field to a rectangular area and hammer six spears into the
- ground, three at each end. Then eleven more priests walk out, clad in white
- robes. Then two high priests wielding clubs walk to the centre and one of
- the other piests starts throwing a red orb at the ones with the clubs."
-
- "Gee," replied the other alien, "what happens next?"
-
- "Then it begins to rain."
