They Can’t Get Any Wetter

.
I’ve often pondered on why swimmers get out of the water when it rains. I’ve observed this many times when sitting on beaches and on board ship. When it starts to rain, swimmers invariably get out of the water. It’s one of the mysteries of life.

Why do I mention this?

It is because the BBC News website carries a photograph of a number of Indian devotees, gathered for the start of the Hindu Kumbh Mela festival in Haridwar, India, sheltering from the rain. And the reason they are there is to take a dip in the Ganges.

A mystery indeed.
