Aussies know what to do when things get bad. Posted: Wed, 4 Dec 2002 11:59 AEDT Bush busload to bare all for cloudburst Hundreds of women in Victoria's drought-affected Mallee say they will stop at nothing to make it rain. They are planning a nude run at Ouyen, in north-western Victoria, in March, inspired by a group of Nepalese women who carried out a similar successful rain dance earlier this year. Organiser Lyn Healy says the town's men will be taken to the town's recreation reserve and several hundred women will then do their best to bring on the rain. "So we're all going to get on these buses, no-one will know where we're going, we're going to head out to a secret location then we all get off the bus and do our rain dance, just women privately, no cameras, then we get back on the bus and come back in for a big family day where we have a big barbecue lunch," she said.

Why didn't I hear about this? Oh well, I just keep thinking about the sketch in Monty Python's Meaning of Life, where the guy gets chased off a cliff by the naked chicks.
