...places you wouldn't go in body armor. So he gives us Brüno on a camping trip trying to seduce some revolted Alabama hunters; Brüno getting belt-whipped - hard - by a nude dominatrix; Brüno in a steel-cage match melting into wet kisses with his opponent while the crowd goes wild - and not in a good way. But even when Brüno is in a hotel room infuriating members of al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades - a situation that needs to be handled with care, especially if the guy handling it is a fey blond...
...that meteorological trickster with the deceptively innocent name, wreaks havoc on the world's weather. Caused by an unusual warming of the eastern Pacific Ocean, El Niño can trigger storms, droughts and other weather disturbances around the planet, drying out normally wet areas and flooding dry parts. But there is a positive effect to El Niño: it tends to reduce the number of hurricanes forming in the Atlantic Ocean. El Niños produce stronger vertical wind shear - the difference in wind speed and direction over a short distance - in the Atlantic, which inhibits the production...
Having created Margaret as a termagant, screenwriter Pete Chiarelli and director Anne Fletcher put her through a film-length rehab of tough love. You just know that her early nastiness will require a public confession and that if she mentions she can't swim, she will get embarrassingly wet.

That, at least, had long been the conventional wisdom, but in recent years, scientists have come to learn that by some measures, the solar system fairly sloshes with water. Mars, we now know, was once as wet as Earth and still harbors ice and perhaps liquid water. The moon is thought to have water locked in permafrost at its poles. Jupiter's moon Europa is probably home to a globe-girdling ocean beneath a thin rind of ice, and its Jovian sisters Callisto and Ganymede appear to be icy and wet too. Now, according to new findings by the Cassini...
...mostly pedestrian, except for the occasional van and the double-decker tram that winds down Chun Yeung Street, stopping at 7-11 at one end and the footbridge at the other. When I get back to my apartment at night, the market is closing down. The ground is usually wet, from Hong Kong summer rains or from hosing fish pieces and meat trimmings into the gutter...
