El Nino is caused when the Peruvian gods get angry. They have been 
angry for millions of years and have made El Nino for millions of years. Many
many moons ago, the Peruvians committed human sacrifice to satiate their 
gods and end the flood that was caused by El Nino. In today's modern 
dog-eat-dog work-a-day world of scientists, diplomats, McSalad Shakers, and
George Bush, Jr., we no longer have access to such solutions. We are too 
proud. We will not commit human sacrifices. We refuse to satiate the Peruvian
gods. Thus, they remain angry and keep killing us and burning down our trees
with El Nino.<br>-- I wasn't <a href="http://douglas.min.net/essay/">this</a>
