A tropical cyclone (which here in North America would be called a hurricane) is threatening Australia and the Great Barrier Reef.

The storm is named KERRY.

[docbnj]

Probably this is a result of failure to adhere to the Kyoto Treaty: another example of Bush ruining the weather, and all just to embarrass his defeated rival. ;-)

[Calpernia]

What?

[martin_fierro]

First it travelled Left.

Then it travelled right.

Then it threw its medal over the fence.

Est yoka, si?

The storm is named KERRY.

And it won't go anywhere NEAR Cambodia!

[Strategerist]

Eh, it's pretty far from Australia, relatively, right now. It's near New Caledonia.

Even money says it turns out to be a dud.

And it won't go anywhere NEAR Cambodia!

Are you sure? It just might not know it...Then the weathermen will shout "LIAR, LIAR, YOUR'RE A LIAR, YOU LIAR"

Will it blow ashore in Queensland?

[cubreporter]

If its name is kerry, don't worry about it...it'll change its mind and go somewhere else.

[Calpernia]

I plead blonde.

[Strategerist]

It's heading for a French Island at the moment, at least.

[Ellesu]

Does it have a plan?

[cubreporter]

Wonder where it will go?

[Hatteras]

"Eh, it's pretty far from Australia, relatively, right now. It's near New Caledonia."

Isn't that where the crew of the PT-73 would go to party?

[mhking]

Don't tell me -- it was in Cambodia at Christmas time....

[Strategerist]

yeah.

Actually the current projected path is a bit North of New Caledonia (Over Espiritu Santu, where the men of Baa Baa Black Sheep would go to party.)

There's a hilarious story of how Admiral Halsey got the French to let us put the SOPAC headquarters ashore on New Caledonia in World War II....

[UCANSEE2]

Sorry. "It's a joke, right?"

[UCANSEE2]

I plead male.

[UCANSEE2]

Wonder what the rendering had going through it's mind.....

(oh god! What does this idiot want?)
