China says they are going to force rain in order to avoid predicted showers for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
Technicians with the Beijing Weather Modification Office said they fired seven rocket shells containing 163 cigarette-size sticks of silver iodide over the city's skies. They claimed it provoked a chemical reaction in clouds that forced four-tenths of an inch of rain.
Ha! The "Weather Modification Office"!?! "I'm a Weather Modification Technician"... only in China, eh?
