Where did the name Raining Iguanas originate?

The name Raining Iguanas emerged as I read an article about a cold snap in South Florida. It said when temperatures fall into the low 40's, cold-blooded iguanas go into a deep sleep. Their bodies shut down, they lose their grip on the trees, and they start falling like rain. Most survive when the temperature rises. Many die if the cold persists. If your sun never shines, you die, cold with a grey ashen hue. Iguanas can survive for 4-10 hours waiting for the morning sun. I'm at the 9th hour.

Microwave Madness

Microwave Madness

By John R. Greenwood


One minute

Or less


Fast food

Too slow


Right on red

Roll on through


Bumper to bumper

Dawn till dusk


One-hour photo

Where did you go


Wait - a word

We learn to hate


Savor - a word

Fallen out of favor


Quick to judge

Slow to praise


Pray microwave madness

Is just a phase
