What should Miami do about Hurricane Dennis?

1) Run like hell
2) Sacrifice Will Smith to Poseidon
3) Shoot anyone in the head who refers to it as Dennis the Menance, anthropomorphically classifying Hurricane Behavior.
4) Stay put and Die
5) NY rules, **** Florida and their lack of pizza, bagels, pizza bagels, & Yankees.

Taking this a bit off-track, why the fuck do americans give names to hurricanes? You don't give names to tornadoes. You don't go "Tornado Timmy's coming, flee!", do you? No, you don't. What I think you should do, is put in an option 7, which would be, of course, capture and tie up everyone who thinks hurricanes should have names and put them(in groups of three, all tied up together) directly to the course of the hurricane and leave a few landmines here and there with them.
Sure, the air would be filled with unanswered screams of mercy, accompanied with mine shrapnel and severed limbs, but those screams, shrapnel and miscellanious body parts would be only for the good of the gene pool and a step closer to human evolution.

It's not the Americans who give names to hurricanes but the World Meteorological Organization.
And it's because there are way too many tornados to name them. And on the other hand, calling hurricanes by numbers, like 050620000102 or somethin would just not be efficient at all for people who's work are related to those. It's a lot easier to remember names, and there aren't too many hurricanes per year anyway.
I don't need to remember the names so I don't and I couldn't careless but I'm sure meteorological scientists appreciate the idea.
I don't think killing the people who like the idea of hurricanes having names, though your post was funny, would be for the good of the gene pool, nor a step closer to evolution. It would be the opposite.

What is so special about CSI?

Some scientists in New Zealand proved that watching TV makes you stupid, but i didn't bookmark the link yesterday.

But wasn't it the yanks who started the tradition? I mean, the names are english. Fuck, I don't know.
And I still think the punishment is needed. People who give names like "Bob" and "Andrew" and "Dennis" to fucking hurricanes shouldn't be even let NEAR any meteorological equipment! Those guys need to be cut out of the gene pool for the sake of all humanity!
And if it's actually, for some, crazy, moronic reason, important for hurricanes to have names, why don't they just give them names that fit? Like Hurricane "Jesus-fuck-Christ, run!", or Hurricane "Get out of the fucking way, you dumb hick!"(GOFYDH)?

You're all insane!

EDIT: yeah, what she said.

There are so many storms a year they just name them alphabetically beforehand. Besides alot of the retired names aren't american, like Klaus or Inez or Frederic.

and using your system they'd run out of names real fast.

Hurricane "Oh my god that thing is really big and we are going to die!!!"

Hurricane "Safety Trapdoors FUBARisms Ulogy" (STFU)

Hurricane "Houston... we have a problem..."

Pfft... I'm lame... somebody tie me to a chair and let Jorja Fox rescue me... (hey, we were talking about CSI right?)

The original idea wasn't on how they named them.
The side idea became 'why do they name them'.
Why don't they just call it, hurricane, like they call a tornado a tornado. I think longevity is the answer. Tornados don't last long. Hurricanes build up, increase in class and strength. Hurricanes are RPG characters. They get experience points with time and add moisture, etc. +20 water vapor bonus. So they need names under which to save file all the stuff they gathered when they hit Jamaica and gold coins and rum popped out.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ummm now to add semifact.
"Tropical storms and hurricanes are given names to avoid confusion when more than one storm is being followed at the same time. A storm is named when it reaches tropical storm strength with winds of 39 mph. Forecasters began using names in 1950. In that year and in 1951, names were from the international phonetic alphabet in use at the time - Able, Baker, Charlie, etc. Female, English-language names were used beginning in 1953."-Insurance Website FAQ, hahaha, #1 dogpile hit

Also for your information, a country can ask a name to be changed if it's the same as someone who killed people (or I guess did something really bad) like "Hitler"

i think that normal names for hurricanes is kinda weird.
Why not something cool, like names with lots of "X"s and "Z"s? that would make me laugh, and get my attention on the news or in a newspaper. "caus if you hear dennis on the news i would think of people, not a stoem. but something like Hurricane Zerbonius would get my attention.

I am pretty sure they alternate masculine and feminine names.
