Tropical Storm Zeta Forms in Atlantic
APSR writes "Even though the Atlantic hurricane season official ends on November 30th, more storms can form and still count towards the total for the year!
According to MSN.com Weather News, Tropical Storm Zeta was formed in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean on December 30th. This storm extends the record-breaking 2005 season to 27 storms, and it's the 6th storm named using the Greek alphabet.
According to Wikipedia, Zeta is the latest a tropical cyclone was formed in the Atlantic, forming around 11 AM ET; this dethrones Hurricane Alice of 1954, which formed December 30th around 2 AM ET. The storm itself will continue to strengthen for 12-24 hours, then weaken; it will not likely make landfall." We've already set records this year, as previously reported.
Hear that Japan? you can still use your weather manipulator and we won't think the better of it
It'd be a funny sight though, you must admit ;-)
"Zeta" sounds more menacing than "Katrina". Mean-sounding storms may get more people to react. If Katrina was instead named "Ball Buster" or "Alimony", then more people may have bothered to leave during the storm. Naming storms after ballerinas is not a way to get them to move their asses. Men will feel demasculated moving for something named after a mere ballerina.

Bad idea. We do not need tropical storms with rocket propelled grenades or chemical weapons.
After all, I am strangely colored.

This is possibly one of the funniest posts I've ever read on slashdot.
And kudos to you coward, for not showing yourself. Obviously you do not believe in your own words enough to back them up.
Also, please, get some help. If you have enough time to spew this worthless tripe onto slashdot, you definately need a hobby.
I also suggest a course on concise writing. Filling a post full of obtuse adjectives and antiquated colloquialisms does little to get your point across. Instead of sounding intelligent, you come across as a pious, egotistical jackass. Your post screams that you are needy, pathetic, and are desperately craving attention. Your endless whining throughout your post also makes you sound like a spoiled little girl who didn't get a pony for Christmas.
As you said in your post, using big words does not make you intelligent. Indeed, this is very true in your case. Why? Because I can express in three words what took you almost three pages of endless drivel to say:
"Taco, you suck."
Now, why don't you go read some self-help books and gain some social skills. There really is more to life than being an attention-starved egomaniacal sociopath.
