Why are most of the women in Seattle so stinkin' granola?
. . . I can safely say that in the Seattle Metro Area, 45% of the Granola chicks you do find are that way simply to piss off their parents.
My team has yet to account for the other ~55%.

So, this goes into levels of thermodynamics and meteorology that are just a shade past what I studied in school, but from what I remember in Meteorology 101 (yes, I did take it, with the local TV weather guy as my instructor), the middle latitudes (and areas near certain mountain ranges), you have the ability to have still very cold air in the upper atmosphere of a thunderstorm, while the lower air is warm. This supercooling (via temperature difference) leads to optimal hail conditions.

Pretty much - hot moist air down low, cool dry air up high, which is what creates thunderstorms in the first place... then you get a certain condition which causes a lot of updrafts, which pushes the water droplets into the super cool air above the clouds. The hail falls when the updrafts are no longer strong enough to 'bounce' the hail back up again.

I've had a team of scientists working on this for years. . .

Has your team inspected their medicine cabinets and spice drawers? I think anti-depressants and holistic health foods is playing a major role in the lack of dress wearing females. We need an undercover go green team.

How can you be a good trustafarian, now that the dead is dead...?
Many real GenY Trustafarians were already following Phish before the Deadheads steered them in the right (wrong?) direction. You also have String Cheese Incident, Umphreys McGhee, and a whole slew of other "Jam" bands who can't seem to finish a damn solo properly.
