Hard At Work. Do Not Disturb.
Hey Y'all! In today's episode of Waste Time At Work, we will waste our time on pondering...
How do they come up with the names for North Atlantic storms like Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Wilma?
Wikipedia.com says:
The lists (six altogether) make use of names from both sexes, and are in alphabetical order. The lists are recycled every six years, with alternating gender.
*Baa Dam Ba CHING*
And there I was wondering why popular (the more violent) hurricane names were mostly female.
Brings to mind the phrase, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, no?
(news excerpt taken from theSun e-paper)
On a different note, did you guys know that mosquitos are more attracted to the colour blue?

Weekend was fabulous =D
Isn't it great what you can learn when you're trying not to work? =)
haha my friend was just asking my as well why the hurricanes are all named after women, and why they all seem to end with an 'a' - karina, rita, wilma.. lol.
i wonder if there'll ever be a huricane fatimah or rafidah. ponder ponder.
cos 'a' is for ass. Those women gotta have some ass. =P
of course her weekend was the bomb!! her MAN was around! =P
Rom.. i think the ending with 'a' is a coincidence only lah (contrary to Spence's theory here about women gotta have ass).
Merv... yahor. Why so racist! Man. We should get our own hurricanes too.
Spence.. oi. you say it like your birthday wasn't part of my weekend's highlights. WINE! Yum. =) THankkkkyouuuuu.
Thank YOU. Wine tastes even better with great company. AND I RE-LIVED MY CHILDHOOD!!!
