If one edits these articles, the part which is edited remains in the mind. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.251.26.169 (talk) 20:49, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Haha, nice turn around. C'mon, there's gotta be a more serious source somewhere. 68.228.89.148 (talk) 09:58, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
The problem is it's written too much like a meteorological article. I came here trying to look up the mythologial figure, Samiel. Mathiastck (talk) 23:39, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Ah hah, this explains a lot. Comes from there, does it? 68.228.89.148 (talk) 10:00, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

The Simoom has not been observed in Southern England. What has been observed is "red rain". This was thought in the 1960's (yes I do remember the phenomenon from that time) to contain red dust from Mars (presumably only by readers of the National Enquirer!!) but was as in the past traced to outfall from desert sandstorms, that had been sucked higher into the air and so travelled to Europe. The latest events are blamed on replacing camels with 4x4's http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2004/aug/20/2. Any idea why this would cause the corpse to dissolve? Red rain following a sandstorm is acidic, and acidic environmental conditions will eventually dissolve bones (P V Globb: The Bog People) but I wouldn't expect the effect to be that immediate. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 21:45, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
