Coming is like El Nino !
El Nino is spanish word for child. Like all things spanish, it is dangerous.
It kills people and burn down trees. This child is more than a child. It really
isn't child at all. It is a storm. A deadly storm that kills people and burns
down trees.
Warm water usually builds up around Australia. But not any more with
El Nino. El Nino moves the warm water from Australia to somewhere else, namely
to other places. Where are these other places? These are places that also have
water, but water that usually not as warm as the warm water El Nino moves to
these said other places. These other places are to the east. Of the
water.
In Peru, they have many names for many things, one of the things
they have names for is for people who go fishing, go fishing to make a living.
If we had a word for this kind of people that would be "fisherman". But we
don't.
In Peru, they have different names for things that we do in
America. They call that kind of people "pescadores". That's Spanish. That's what
they speak in Peru. When El Nino comes, these "pescadores" can't catch any fish.
El Nino is caused when the peruvian god 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 commited human sacrifices to satiate there gods and end the
flood that was caused by El Nino. In todays 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 our trees with El Nino.
Instead of satisfying the gods,
many of "these" scientists have tried to control El Nino with "science". They
put up expensive fish-attracting-buoys that run on flashlight batteries.
Imagine, fighting the power of gods with flashlight batteries! Needless to say,
they didn't work and everyone died
