absolute rubbish....
its cos the little rainbringer dwarf cant run fast enough to keep up with the water coming down so he just liberally splashes colour around. Surely everyone knew that!
Why are homo sapiens the only species that laugh?

Only the most committed egalitarian ideologue can deny the black edge in basketball, football and sprinting. Tune in an NBA game and there is a fair chance you will find ten black players on the court. Try an NFL game. Most of the faces on the field will be black as well. Then measure this against the fact that blacks comprise about 13 percent of all Americans. But nowhere is black superiority more dramatically illustrated than in sprinting. No white has ever run a 100m in less than 10 seconds. At least 30 blacks have.
The simplest explanation (usually the best) for black dominance in these sports is innate talent. Measurable anatomical and physiological differences support this conclusion. However, this interpretation being offensive to multicultural sensibilities, remains unpopular. We will avoid the issue. Our aim is to make the black-white ability gap precise, not to ponder its origins.
I before E only applies to words where the IE is sounded EE (and there are a few exceptions... seize being one)

OK, this will have to be the last of my Magnus Pike type explanations as I have to go to Milton Keynes now.
“i” before “e”
achieve, belief, grief, mischief, yield
except after “c”
ceiling, conceive, deceive, perceive, receive
and except when sounded as “a”
beige, eight, freight, neighbor, weight

the old theory is that they needed to be quicker because the demographic positioning of the black population, nearby wild animals meant if the couldn't run they would be eaten!!!
seriously though, David Coleman was asked the same question about Carl Lewis and he quoted a black professor in America who stated that the black pelvis is slightly narrower than caucasion ones which allows the hips to move that much quicker, hence they can run faster.
