So, someone at CNBC with too much time on their hands is reporting that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is asking people to limit their showers to 3 minutes so as to conserve water.

This is wrong on 2 levels:

• Why this is a story on the CNBC front page is beyond me.
• Hugo Chavez should suggest that you shower with a loved one to conserve water….It just brightens up your whole day.
