Weather Amusement

While my inconsiderate body continues to interfere with my plans, I figured I'd post this excerpt from Dr. Jeff Masters' WunderBlog (at Weather Underground):

With wind shear expected to remain high, Zeta will likely be dead within 24 hours. But before you believe this forecast, you might want to review some of the comments about Zeta in the official National Hurricane Center discussions the past few days:

10 PM EST SUN JAN 01 2006
I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO FORECAST WEAKENING AGAIN AND AGAIN.

4 PM EST MON JAN 02 2006
THEREFORE I HAVE NOT BACKED OFF ON THE FORECAST OF WEAKENING. OF COURSE...ZETA MAY HAVE OTHER IDEAS.

4 PM EST TUE JAN 03 2006
SO...ALTHOUGH YOU'VE HEARD THIS FROM US BEFORE...WE EXPECT A WEAKENING TREND TO COMMENCE TOMORROW.

10 AM EST WED JAN 04 2006
AS YOU CAN SEE...I RAN OUT THINGS TO SAY.

I haven't been paying attention to what the Weather Wars guy is saying about this storm, but it is probably entertaining.

News you can use, via holy_weblog: Iran's very own Dial-a-Messiah!

Old news for the moony among you: Alien shadows on the moon.

Eternal verities: The Bible's Greatest Hits, most-popular (and some of the least popular) Bible verses as revealed by search stats.

I seem to have an excess of old links around, most of which I'll spare you. But haven't you wondered who's on Forbes' list of the world's richest fictional people?
