They do alternate the names of hurricanes in North America based on gender. Some years back, we had a hurricane Bob. As to a hurricane Zoidberg, you will not be safe anywhere, considering how inept he is as a doctor. As to sexism, I watched part of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" last night. In one scene, Dr. Frankenfurter turned everyone to stone. You could see Brad's organ clearly but they blurred Janet's body parts.

An Italian commedian put it this way:

Quote:

Vorrei ricordare ai giovani che bisogna imparare dagli americani.. gli americani danno agli uragani i nomi, CI SARA' UN CAZZO DI MOTIVO!
E' questo il motivo: perchè un uragano, come una donna, quando arriva è caldo e avvolgente e quando se ne va t'ha portato via la casa e la macchina.

(my translation:)

Quote:

I would like to remind the young that we must learn from the Americans .. Americans give female names to hurricanes, THERE MUST BE A ONE FUCKING REASON!
And this is why: because a hurricane, like a woman, when it arrives is warm and enveloping, and when it leaves it has taken away from you the house and the car.

Doubt it. She sounds foreign.

Considering how easy it is for people to enter the U.S. (read: Obama's uncle and aunt), I don't think she will have a problem getting in, even with a foreign name. Is spell check flagging "Obama" because ML refuses to acknowledge his presidency?

We thought we had a category F0 tornado in England 30 years ago, but it turns out it was just my dad closing the car door.

Who would win in a fight, a tornado or a hurricane?

Hurricane blows the tornado away with 11800000 results vs 12000000 results.

That or Googlefight is ever so slightly broken

[EDIT]
It worked when I refreshed. On the first attempt, the hurricane bar was huge and the tornado bar was at about a tenth, despite the figures clearly showing something quite different.

A tornado is at most 2 miles wide, whereas a hurricane is hundreds of miles wide, and lasts for days instead of a half hour. Also, hurricanes spawn tornadoes, so tornadoes are hurricanes bitches.
