Iraq drought hits marshes in 'Garden of Eden' http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30227029/

Not that I think that we humans were going to be invited back anytime real soon, but the fact that the corner of the planet that scholars consider to be the actual 'Garden of Eden' is suffering a horrific drought seems to be somewhat rather biblical in its implication.

Of course, it's helpful to remember that this drought (like a lot of our weather-related problems these days) was definitely helped along by man (well, one man in particular - Saddam Hussein).
