A universe where...

...rain is 0.5% less likely in some areas

...wind speeds are lightly lower

...pressure levels are randomly tweaked

...dogs run slightly faster

...there is one extra cloud in the Bahamas

...Gemrany won WWII

...Snakes are wide instead of long

...Will smith took the lead in ''The Matrix'' instead of ''Wild Wild West''

...Swimming pools are carbonated

...Sliced bread, after being banned in January 1943, was never re-legalized.
