    How many tonnes of rain do you think falls onto this Earth every minute ?
    Please don't look this up - but have a guess, if you know the answer - save it for a while :)

    OK, at the risk of making a fool of myself :D (Is tones a measurement for rain? I'm used to gallons only :p): 30 000 tonnes :rolleyes: would be my wild guess...Just for you.

    Dunno but think about it. Until we started peeing in space, the earth has had the same amount of water that it started with however long ago it began.

    Edit: Oh, the answer. The same amount of water that went up, came down.

    Shall I tell you a secret? ;) I don't know anything about the earth and its metabolism. How should I press and guess?

    What about the others here on the forum?
