I saw a question answered in your archives-ID# 873909296.PH that addresses that 
you should run through the rain rather than walk.  There is an assumption made 
in the answer that the rain is falling straight down.  I was wondering if the 
rain falls at an angle/vector away from you and towards you whether changing 
that variable changes the answer that you should run.
