Why does rain not really hurt us when it travels at such a velocity from the sky? You would think that as far as it travels with gravity pushing it down that rain drops would be like tiny bullets...serious answers only please.

Have you ever been attacked by ants?

Mine was a horrific tale. I was partially paralyzed in my legs and required a wheelchair. As I was going down the sidewalk I noticed thousands of army ants marching behind me. I spun the wheels as fast as I could and kept looking back as they were still coming at me. I thought I had them beat and in front of me was an ambush platoon of ants carrying a stick. They threw it in my wheelchair spokes and tumbled me forward out of the chair. By then the main ant force started stinging my legs and somehow stimulated them to work again.

At that point I began stomping them as they retreated. However I kept after them as the remaining last ones made it to their mound. I then dropped a large firecracker down the hole and declared that victory was mine.
