The Thread show is on it. Yeah, Bread's fun. Fact,
breads fun.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So much.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
More people drown in deserts than die of thirst. I
love the idea. Yeah yeah, put that one your pipe
and smoga for a second. One would assume that dying
of thirst and dehydration would be the leading cause of
death in the desert, but surprisingly it's drowning. So rain
in the desert is infrequent, but when it does rain,
(00:34):
it comes on suddenly and heavily, and deserts don't have
water drainage systems in place, so the rains fall too
fast for the dry clay like soil to absorb it.
Water overflow becomes excessive, and that means that there's quicksand
in storms as well, which could lead to drowning by sandow.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
That sounds awful.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Did you know that Antarctica is the world's largest desert. Yes,
because they calculate desert rainfall.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
To put something in My puppets look at that to think, no,
this is too much.
