Diogenes’ Middle Finger: This is actually a news item in the once respected Washington Post, and probably the stupidest thing you will read all day. According to the Post, a university research study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, claims people don’t take hurricanes as seriously if they have a feminine name and the consequences are more deadly. Yeah, you read that right. Story here
They have never spent time with Mrs. Frank or they would know th get the heck out of the way when the monthlly hurricane starts to swirl.
It’s getting harder and harder to separate real stories from satire.
And, and, and….’Calypso” was a female sea monster…..then ‘The Sirens’ (also female) gave Odysseus an earful…
Just beyond idiotic. If a storm has a female name instead of seeking shelter we all stand outside looking up hoping for a glance at some big puffy tits.
You do know that if we defund government we will miss these extremely important warnings.
Name them after men or people will die!!!!!!
Simple solution: Transgender hurricanes!
My detailed studies indicate gender confused hurricanes won’t kill people.
All hurricanes are intersectionally sustainable.
Sounds reasonable to me. Every ship at sea is referred to as “she”. If it sinks, all lives lost are due to the crew not respecting the situation enough. We can stop this needless loss of life by just referring to ships as “he” from now on.
The name Hugo, couldn’t get me off James Island Sc in 89. Nor Floyd in 99. Or Matthew last year. So from personal experience, I’d say this study is full of shit.
Name a Hurricane after a female and it becomes a Hurricunt.
Nuff said.
Same shit happened after Katrina(which hit us first.,unannounced)
People in NOLA said that they would have left if the Hurricane would
have had something other than a “White” name
“Holy crap, it’s Hurricane Stag-0-Lee”
grayjohn – I won’t lie, that was offensive. And I gave you a thumbs up. 😀 😀 😀
Hurricanes named after black females are the deadliest. Ask Shelia Jackson Lee. I kid you not.
Hey, the solution’s simple. Use ambiguous names, ones that are given to both boys and girls:
Aubrey, Beverly, Casey, Evelyn, Fran, Hilary, Joyce, Kelly, Lynn, Meredith, Robin, Pat, etc.
Look very closely at the genitalia of inbound hurricanes. If you see massive dick and balls run for your lives and take shelter. If you see a tight little vayjayjay, put the patio umbrella up and have a cookout.
Camille and Katrina say it’ll be fine.
I’m trying to work “Hurricunt” and “Once every month” and ” Megan Kelly” into one comment.
There’s also got to be some connection between hurricanes, Class 5 global warming and Russian lady lawyers.
Meanwhile, Shia’s cuffs are probably still too tight…
They may have a point. If I lived on the coast and the TV weather chick warned that Hurricane Hillary was coming up the coast I’d sure as hell be running for cover whereas if Hurricane McCain was on the way it would just blow itself out, get lost, forget which side of the coast it was on and then snow while I had a beer and watched from the porch.
wait … weren’t ALL hurricanes once named EXCLUSIVELY for women?
now, get back to me when you have a new theory …..
@Rufus. Megastorm HairyCunt Megan lingers off the coast and keeps changing her track every month sowing destruction on vacationing Russian lady lawyers.
I don’t know dude. I gave it a shot.
I should have said Twatskyites. Dang.
aaaaaaaand …. maybe this all started when they found the need to name every gust of wind that was more powerful than a dog fart a ‘storm’
no one pays attention to them anymore regardless
Here is the solution – give them Indian tribal names.
