A Straight Dope Classic from Cecil's Storehouse of Human Knowledge
Old refrain about rain in Spain explained
May 6, 1994
Dear Cecil:
Does the rain in Spain in fact fall predominantly on the plain?
Cecil replies:
Mainly. But what I want to find out is whether the snow at St. Lo improves the Bordeaux, the hail at Yale's on the Richter scale, and the sleet in Crete completely eats. You find out, you let me know.
