London less rainy than Paris

As anyone around these parts (south-east UK) will tell you, we've had epic amounts of rain recently. And it's still falling.

However, our British climate is often unfairly maligned, mostly by we Brits. According to my 1997 edition of this reliable source:

London - 153 days with 0.1mm+ rainfall per year
Paris - 162 days

London annual rainfall - 593mm
Paris - 619mm.

And yet which city would most people believe to be the wetter?

Exponential growth

I notice I have received no fewer than 32 page views in two days, with 100% growth between days one and two.

So at current course and speed I will have one page view for every single person on the planet before the end of May. I'm going to call that a "stretch target", but let's see how it goes.

It really is true that if you could fold a piece of paper 27 times it would reach higher than Everest. 100 times and you are somewhere around the width of the known universe. See this for more on exponential growth.
