Death Valley, California

Wait a minute, wait a minute..... Antarctica is frozen over with ice, which is pretty watery last time I checked! There hasn't been any rain in Death Valley though for years, has there? And what about that desert in Chile or Bolivia or somewhere, the Atacama or something?

And how the hell does the Earth have 7 moons? That's a load of s**t!

The other six moons are called Cruithne, 2000 PH, 2000 WN, 2002 AA, 2003 YN and 2004 GU. Theyre called psuedo-moons or quasi-satellites and are slowly coming into a more regular orbital pattern (currently horseshoe shaped orbit)...and i hate to break it to you but 2 million years without rain beats a couple
