I finally got my two girls after FIVE boys!! Really :-)
Yeah I am done!!
It's true though, when I see my shark walk up to my shark out in the driveway, or out in the parking lot at work, I can't believe she's mine!! Gives me goose bumps!! :-)

Andrew a simple cone shape flat on the big end is more aerodynamic less drag with the big flat face pointed into the wind rather than pointed end to the wind... which is one reason why why rain drops have pointed tails and highly aero dynamic cars often look pretty ugly.

Jim: This should be another thread: While I do not disagree with your statement about which end of a raindrop leads, and the aero mirror may have less drag glass to the front but I bet there is a fluid dynamic explanation as to why a raindrop falls large end first or toward the axis of motion, something to do with mass leading the momentum? I'm not an engineer so I'm sure I haven't used proper terms; I mean there just has to be more drag associated with a larger surface area (the larger front of a rain drop) but it is overcome by some other fluid property or a free falling object and the instability of pointy nose. There is no denying which way it falls, I just think there is more complicated explanation besides drag as to why. Norm may have an answer.

The raindrop comment is apparently dated information..."In truth, raindrops are spherical in shape when they begin to fall. Then, unless they are very small, they take on shapes with flattened bases and rounded tops, looking more like falling hamburger buns than teardrops, as they fall. The distortion from the spherical drop is caused by the air resistance against the drop as it descends, which flattens the lower drop surface. This aerodynamic drag force can further deform large drops into sagging dumbbell shapes, causing the biggest ones to eventually split into two or more smaller drops." So ignore the raindrop comment.
