Um, Duh. :>

Who could possibly know more about major disasters?

Wait....There are NAPKINS?

subby said Penis.

Turns out that hurricane season forecasts are about as useful as "President Hillary Clinton" commemorative cocktail napkins


Haha, you fools. You don't buy commemorative napkins, you buy commemorative plates.


My Hillary Clinton commemorative plates will be worth millions someday. Oh, they don't guarantee that the plates will go up in value, but all the others have.


I'm rich, biatch!!!

I'd Category 5 that.

Why is Kansas concerned with the hurricane forecast?

Clintoned in the boobies!

/always laughed at that
//never knew if it was a filter or just funny

Turns out that hurricane season forecasts are about as useful as "President Hillary Clinton" commemorative cocktail napkins.

I don't know..i can use the napkins to wipe my skinny cracked ass.

I predict that there will either be more hurricanes this year than usual, or fewer, and they will be of greater or lesser intensity than any season previously seen.

I further predict that this unusual upsurge or lull in hurricane activity will be blamed on global warming, El Nino activity in the Pacific, or extremely high or low monsoonal activity in the Indian Ocean.

Following this unusual hurricane season, there will be a correlation with a remarkably high or low number of blizzards and ice storms in the Northeast.

You watch. I'm bound to be right.

fred and steve's steakhouse:

I want one too, you know how rare those will be?

Pcubensis: Why is Kansas concerned with the hurricane forecast?

Because most citizens of Kansas have never left Kansas?

Given their brouhaha over the teaching of evolution, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a sizable portion that believes they're on the coast.

The National Weather Service already said that the only reason for the forecasts was for stupid people who would buy a house in Mississippi and think that a Hurricane would NEVER hit Mississippi.

The Grinch: Clintoned in the boobies!

I remember the thread where it happened. The headline was something or other about Bush, and the first person who posted somehow blamed Clinton. Somebody replied, "Oh great, clintoned in the Boobies", got filterpwned, and the rest is history.

Unfortunately, that thread appears to be invisible to google, as most of fark is, so I don't think there's an easy way to track it down...

Those are Hillary Clinton Presidential FEMININE Napkins.

Gyrfalcon: I further predict that this unusual upsurge or lull in hurricane activity will be blamed on global warming, El Nino activity in the Pacific, or extremely high or low monsoonal activity in the Indian Ocean.

You forgot La Niña, the exact opposite of El Niño. So whatever can't be blamed on one can be blamed on the other. Flawless!

it's the "butterfly effect". We have to hunt this guy down and stop him flapping his wings!

it was truly classic, havent seen it used as well since, but I am still hoping

I predict a catastrophic storm will hit Denver in late August.

Turns out that hurricane season forecasts are about as useful as This Al Gore coaster..

the headline reads much better as just "Turns out that hurricane season forecasts are about as useful as "President Hillary Clinton""

fred and steve's steakhouse: But I already placed my order with the Franklin Mint.

Not to nitpick, but those coins are only for Presidents that are dead.

TeddyRooseveltsMustache: Please do not take our hope away.

"President Hillary Clinton" commemorative cocktail napkins!!

I want a gross of them for our Hillary gets her ass handed to her party!!

yeah, so much for "glowball warmism caused hurricane katrina!!!"

Google "Solar Cycle 24" and "Solar Minimums"

You may want to check "Maunder Minimums" and the "Little Ice-age" as well.

As long as they are sanitary napkins.

/ I dont want any dirty napkins

I could at least use the napkins to wipe my ass.

If anyone could predict the future, don't you think they'd play the stock market instead of the weather? The best forecast is about 6 hours, averag is 4.

Pcubensis: Why is Kansas concerned with the hurricane forecast?

Its because they are trying to discredit any achievement or notoriety gray had since he doesnt believe man is causing global warming, its smear and discredit campaign since global warming is big bidness.

I find it hilarious that we cannot predict weather on a scale like this, yet permanent climate change is considered absolutely a certainty.

Ikken Hisatsu: I find it hilarious that we cannot predict weather on a scale like this, yet permanent climate change is considered absolutely a certainty.

Climate and weather are two different things. With 100% certainty both will change. To what is a matter of discussion. I've been paying attention to this for more than twenty years, and most of what they said was going to happen twenty years ago has. Of course marketing hadn't caught on then so it was more of a serious discussion than trying to sell you a more eco friendly dog condom or what ever.

I'm not saying its not happening though. I just question how much of it is human-activity-related and how much of it is natural. It could be just 50/50.

But then anyone who questions human-activity-related global climate change is usually verbally stoned so maybe I should keep my thoughts to myself.

/oops too late.

Wait,... You forgot to blame BUSH GLOBAL WARMING CLIMATE CHANGE!!!

Regarding climate change, exactly when has climate ever been static?

jjorsett: Regarding climate change, exactly when has climate ever been static?

Exactly. And who is to say that a little warmer might be better? Although, I think we are at the apex and we will start getting cooler in a few years.

3_Butt_Cheeks: Wait....There are NAPKINS?

I was told there would be no napkins.

jso2897: 3_Butt_Cheeks: Wait....There are NAPKINS?

Wait! Napkins are made of paper which leads to deforestation...shame on you.

meofcourse77: Exactly. And who is to say that a little warmer might be better? Although, I think we are at the apex and we will start getting cooler in a few years.

I guess that the fact that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased every year for the last century is meaningless to you.

Any weather forecast beyond the next 3 or 4 days is a crap shoot.

NakedApe: Any weather forecast beyond the next 3 or 4 days today is a crap shoot.

FTFY.

at least thats the case here in St. Louis.

Dang, I forgot to cross out today. Forgive me grammar nazies.

"From the beginning, Gray issued disclaimers with his forecasts, like the one from May 1989 that asserted the forecast "can only predict about 50 percent of the total variability in Atlantic seasonal hurricane activity.""

I can match those odds by tossing a quarter in the air. I should be a "Climatologist".

URGENT BREAKING NEWS UPDATE:

TONIGHT'S WEATHER FORECAST IS: DARK


oh, you can't predict the weather? I'm shocked. Shocked. Obviously these people never saw The Butterfly Effect.

/farking meteorologists
//or whatever the fark these people are called

People need to understand this: We don't understand shiat about the weather. Period. We don't have any good understanding of what makes what work. Every time someone comes out and says "Ok I've got it," nature says "fark you, " and throws a curve ball.

The problem is that you get these people who live in coastal areas that get lulled in to a false sense of accuracy by daily weather reports. Reporting weather in a coastal area is pretty easy, it's always the same shiat. So the local weather is generally in the right ball park with things like the temperature and such. Just take what happened yesterday and say that's how it'll be today. You are right often as not. You go to southern California and the forecast is pretty much always right, because it's pretty much always "Sunny and warm."

People need to go live some place like Flagstaff for a while where it is complicated and thus you'd actually have to be able to do more than look at yesterday to predict what it'll be. No surprise, the weather is wrong approximately, well, every damn day.

People need to understand that storm forecasts are the same way. Put no stock in that shiat. Treat every year as if it is going to be a bad year. If it isn't, well then no problem, you got lucky. If it is, well then you were prepared so ok.

Don't rely on the weathermen to predict anything other than the blindingly obvious because we just don't understand it well enough to do more than that.

I think the obvious tag needs to use the hurricane rating system.
Cat 1: Duh.
Cat 2: Cletus isn't surprised by this, Rick Romero is.
Cat 3: Nostradamus predicted it, equatorial pygmies know it, cats ignore it.
Cat 4: "NOAH can't predict hurricanes". tag blinks and has glittery stars around it.
Cat 5: Tag asplodes.

Whether you have 3-4 or 10-12 hurricanes forming in a given part of the world in a year, all you need is one to mess up your week/month/year/life. Follow Scar's advice.

NakedApe: Any weather forecast beyond the next 3 or 4 days is a crap shoot.

Shhhh, you can't sell carbon credits on just a 4 day forecast....didn't you get the memo?

It's those M-----F---ING BUTTERFLIES, I tell you, always FLAPPING THEIR G-DDAMN WINGS! Kill 'em all, I say, kill 'em all!!!!!
