sometimes the ice in the sky forms into little plates, and when they rotate the right way together, they refract light like a prism, causing a rainbow effect (I lost an article about a cloud shaped rainbow, : [ ).. in this case it formed a halo around the sun in Ethiopia, around an election, and this also coincides on a holy day. Also, this happened there before in 1991 during a regime change.
i tried to find a funnier one about an old man who had taken a glass of listerine every morning until he got pulled over once.. he wasn't trying to get drunk like this person.
