Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I really don't think it would change anyone's opinion about him.

No, but I would find it funny. Isn't that enough?

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Wikipedia also has info on the 2005 hurricane season: here.

You misunderstood me. I don't see why he needs to censor himself. Heck, with his voice and the way he talks out of the side of his mouth, he's already almost a self-parody.

Ah, gotcha. And yeah, I don't think anyone's under the illusion that Cheney's a polite soft-spoken gentleman. He should be comfortable with just being himself. In front of as many cameras as possible.

WHOA! Preston is my great-grandmother's maiden name and on the very short list of names I would use for a child. I AM APPALLED that Britney stole it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's what you get for not sprogging first. So sorry.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Find out what happened to the following hurricanes:

I had a reference question in grad school like this. It was "How far down the alphabet has the National Weather Service gotten, and what was the name and year of that storm?"

This was before the internet had as much free shit as it does now, and I was not allowed to consult an almanac. In fact, I called up the NWS press office, and they gave me an answer. (It was a T-name, in 1995.)

Just make sure your kid is older than hers and you're covered.

Just a thought.

OK, I guess I start making my way to class now. Nice that it's the second week of classes and I'm exhausted. @@

Try this link; they're all 2005 storms

All those names have been used multiple times. Gert-2005 wasn't a hurricane, so the teacher must mean one of the earlier Gerts, such as Gert-1999.

Dear Ben's Teacher:

FOUL!
