Raindrop Refractions Round
Raindrops may be falling on your head, but if you look closely at what's reflected inside you'd have to stand on your head to read it. A water droplet is spherical and acts like a camera lens, refracting light so that the image is inverted. Weird thing is, your eye is a spherical lens too, so the inverted image raindrop you're looking at is actually the way your eye always "sees" things -- inverted. It's just your brain that makes it all better.
