    Didn’t know the worlds greatest blagger Orson Welles got his start in the Gate theatre in Dublin. He literally blagged his way into the job too.

    Spent some time selling paintings to farmers in the West too. Somebody may have an original Welles painting on their walls in Clare or thereabouts. :)

    Fascinating man.

    Does rain water have minerals in it? Don't think there would be much in the way of pollutants in the rain over here in the West.

    As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know.

    Iirc, water vapour condenses around dust to form drops that fall as rain.

    I know what I know and I know some of what I don't know and I don't know what unknowns I don't know because they're of an unknown quantity.

    If you know what I mean.

    What is that 'Dust'? is it fine sand/nuclear fallout? What i'm trying to get at is the mineral content of the rain water and where it gets it? does it absorb the dust content?

    My reason for asking is that I have been drinking rain water for years and am not dead yet. :D but sbsquarepants has me worried so there must be some mineral content in the rain water if he/she correct.

    Just normal dust and sand, the more microscopic pieces carried aloft as they as smaller and blowing around in the atmosphere.

    An example would be the dust splatters left on a car after a summer shower and the rain left on the car evaporating. The bigger grains left on the car would be atmospheric dust blowing around at ground level but the smaller grains would be from forming rain.

    At least that was the way it was explained to us in school.

    So if the human body is mostly water, how long would it take to totally evaporate? You’d have to stay still for bloody ages.

    It also contains dissolved chemicals, carbon dioxide being the main one, plus any pollutants in the air.

    A recent enough book also claims he was more or less openly homosexual in his younger life and had several same sex relationships before going all genocidal and whatnot.

    There's also a strong possibility he had Jewish ancestory. His grandmother worked as a maid in a wealthy Jewish household and it was rumoured that the 19 year old son had a secret affair with her. She became pregnant with Hitler's father and suddenly moved away, after the birth she left the section for the father's name blank on the birth cert. It's alleged that she received regular payments from the boy's father for a number of years.

    Well it's not set in stone, some say she was sleeping with another lad (chap A) at the same time as the jewish son and he got her pregnant so they decided to scam the rich Jewish lad by pretending the baby belonged to him. Other people say she was having an affair with chap A's brother behind his back and the baby was actually his (he took Hitler's father in after chap A died). And some people say she was being secretly diddled by the Jewish father as well as the son and the baby could have belonged to either of them.
    It wouldn't be out of place on Jeremy Kyle or Jerry Springer!

    Here's a piece about DNA tests they ran on his ancestors http://www.history.com/news/study-suggests-adolf-hitler-had-jewish-and-african-ancestors
