Even top notched, serious federal agencies have been known to have a sense of humor, on occasion.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released their pre-picked names for this year's Atlantic hurricane's. The letter "W" will represent, of all names, Hurricane Wendy!:D

And explain what is funny about that, will ya chev?

Hurricane....Wendy.....see the correlation?

?

:rolleyes:

damn. hurricane dubya sounds bettah

Sorry chev..
Word jokes in english get by me..
Not my mother-language.

(But still not that funny)

english is my first, and only, language, and i still don't get it

and im usually really quick at picking up puns and word jokes and such

or does it imply that elchevelle knows someone named wendy who is in some way like a hurricane

Wendy.....Windy....as in blowing wind

Hurricane....storm.....as in blowing wind

the baby explaining wasn't necessary

I still think the best hurricane was "floyd"... How could ANYONE be afraid of something named floyd? :p :p :p its such a retired old guy name ;)

(one could argue floyd sounds like a new yorker saying "flood" ... nah not funny too much effort ;) )

we need a hurricane Florence now that's terrifying ain't it

lol:D i got the joke El.

(s1138's story0
try being in hawaii on vacation with your family, and a hurricane is coming, and it has the same name as your mother:D

Foreigners. You keep making up stupid stuff and attributing it to the Chinese or Japanese. :rolleyes:

Here are the names of cyclones/typhoons (i.e. hurricanes) that China, Japan and a host of other countries near the Western Pacific Ocean would really use.

Hurricane Longwang
 

Maybe I'm immature but that one had me laughing all the way to the end of the list.

Amazing how funny the Chinese can be when they don't intend to be.

I prefer earthquakes and rolling blackouts to these wussy hurricanes. Dreary east coast weather! Bah.
