Acid Rain

Acid rain. I've heard it is caused by pollutants in the air as they mix with falling rain. What would happen if acid rain dropped acid of really low pH (i.e., acid that can burn your ass off) ??

Just imagine, you'd be walking home from work on a dreary tuesday evening, cursing the rain, when you smell a funny, sulfurous, plastic-burning odor. You realize its your brolly thats melting, and look up to see what the hell is going on. And bang!! before you know it, your left eye hurts like its been poked by something sharp. The pain is intense, so you fall to the ground, crouching on your knees, holding your face and screaming, while the acid rain quickly burns large holes through your raincoat and reaches the skin on your back. You pass out because of the excruciating pain, never to wake up.

No more dreary Tuesday evenings for you. Thanks to acid rain.
