Later in the comic, a bird in the rain is also searching on the Internet for where birds go when it rains. This is humorously implying that a significant set of these questions are being typed by birds looking for a dry place after being caught in the rain, and not humans. This would make Cueball wrong; worrying about birds getting wet would not unite us. In reality, as the comic states, birds look for shelter so they can stay dry. On a rainy day you can usually find birds in leafy trees, caves or other kinds of cover. Also, if the rain is light, many birds don’t even care and just continue with their normal birdy lives. | Later in the comic, a bird in the rain is also searching on the Internet for where birds go when it rains.

| − | + | In the {{w|Superman}} comics, Clark Kent ''is'' Superman, so you never observe both Clark Kent and Superman simultaneously. By analogy, the title text whimsically suggests that a possible inference from the observation that you never see birds and rain together is that birds ''are'' the rain. Perhaps birds are an unknown {{w|Phase (matter)|phase}} of water. In addition to its familiar phases of {{w|ice}}, {{w|water vapor|vapor}}, and {{w|water|liquid water}}, water has more exotic phases such as {{w|Ice#Phases|low-temperature and high-pressure ices}} and {{w|Supercritical fluid|supercritical gases}}; why not birds? | |

| + | The title text jokingly implies that birds are a phase of water. This would mean that the birds don't go anywhere during the rain. They turn into water, becoming the rain. In reality, this is impossible.{{Citation needed}} Clark Kent is the name of Superman. Asking where Clark Kent goes when Superman shows up is meaningless, because Clark is Superman. | ||
