Why is it that Rain Drops, but Snow Falls?

Throughout the ages, mankind has been troubled by a multitude of questions. Through perseverance and great intellectual curiosity, many of these questions have answers. Long have they pondered questions such as, "Why is grass green?" "Why is the sky blue?" and “What is the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything?” Thus far, we have been successful in compiling answers. However, there are other questions such as, "Why do you need an appointment to see a psychic?" "If you didn't get caught, did you really do it?" and "What would we do without hypothetical questions?" that have yet to be answered. However, through meditation, self-inquiry and theoretical logic, one of the unanswered questions has been answered. "Why is it that rain drops and snow falls?"

There are several theories that pertain to this. Among these is the Over Analyzation Syndrome, meaning the first coming of rain resulted in a group of wise men arguing over a name. Not long after the first snow occurred, which was equally as shocking. After ten moons went by a Greek philosopher and renowned scientist, Perseus Rain, spoke the word, "microwave and bounces," stating that rain microwaves and snow bounces. The room fell silent went his words created a ripple effect among the group. The room broke out in laughter as Rain's face grew a dark shade of red. Through the avalanche of embarrassment Rain's brother, Snow fell from his chair. "Hah! Snow is falling!" "Rain is dropping his senses!" With blatant anger plastered on his face he screamed in frustration. After several moments the realization hit him, and he proclaimed," Rain doesn't fall, it drops! Snow falls!" The power of his words made the room quiver with excitement, and the rain and snow mingled in agreement outside the window.

Although this theory seems plausible, another claims to be the true reasoning. Dating back to ancient times, two residing kingdoms were battling to retain their family's honor. However their means of doing so is rather outdated in terms of military tactics. In fact the battles in the Land of Equestria revolved around the value of each stallion placed at the starting line. Money is placed it two jars, one for each racing steed. The torches were lit and both mares eyed the sugar cubes at the end of the track. Civilians and royals cheered as hooves met with the dirt. Snow, an albino Pinto began to fall behind Rain, the sleek gray mystery. Snow refusing to give in sped ahead and crossed the finish line. Rain dismayed, dropped his head in shame. Therefore although Snow fell, Rain dropped. But both enjoyed delectable sugar cubes after war.

Even if both points may seem valid, they are both cases of Overanalyzation Syndrome, for the answer to this question is quite simple. Atop a tower across vast lands of green and oceans, lived the enshrined man destined to gift knowledge to each individual. Dic Urban is the author of what we now call dictionaries. Before the book was titled, Black's Law, Black being his wife's maiden name. (Not much has changed since then). With his wife's demands growing tedious Urban was urged to finish his book quickly, for the public's stupidity was only growing. Through his haste he had labeled snow as falling, and rain as dropping. A day or so passed before a child had confronted him of his mistake," Why does rain drop but snow falls?" Perplexed by the sudden question the realization of his misprint came across his face. He bent down and placed his hand on the boy's head, and clearly stated," Rain drops because the water formulates into droplets, the clouds dropping excess moisture. Snow falls because the clouds are shaking of extra weight." And thus, the relevant, yet moronic, question is answered.
