Wikipedia wrote:Drizzle (also called mizzle) is light precipitation consisting of liquid water drops smaller than that of rain, and generally smaller than 0.5 mm (0.02 in.) in diameter. Drizzle is normally produced by low stratiform clouds and stratocumulus clouds. Precipitation rates due to drizzle are on the order of a millimeter per day or less at the ground. Owing to the small size of drizzle drops, under many circumstances drizzle largely evaporates before reaching the surface, and so may be undetected by observers on the ground. The METAR code for drizzle is DZ.
Not sure I'd name a rogue OR a database after that..

What?? Let me quote some words by you:
"Owing to the small size of drizzle drops..."
"... drizzle largely evaporates before reaching the surface, and so may be undetected by observers ..."
What better way to describe a gnome rogue?
And the database is just hitching a ride on my fame :P.
