COAST TO COAST -- claim that Katrina was created and driven

Oh, my. We have to talk about this. Some meteorolgist is claiming that Katrina was created and driven. He says that the Russians have claimed that they can do this. They also created Ivan. This storm was designed to stike our oil and natural gas facilities.

[Siobhan]

I'm all ears.

That's too bad because it would have taken at least some brains.

[clee1]

I had an incredibly detailed nightmare last night about Hillary and some gang-bangers....

[sam_paine]

taken some brains

Weeeeee! Political titties, Sino bahn really got you on that one! Get it? "all ears" he turned that one around on you when you weren't lookin!!! Heehee! Try this...it's a good comeback! "Neener neener!"

Oh wow. Man this is expanding mah mind!

You probably shouldn't tell people about it. ;)

[Squantos]

Predestination was doomed from the start.......

[Siobhan]

Oh wow. Man this is expanding mah mind!

Expanding a null set in a vacuum is not much to exclaim over.

[clee1]

Oh, I won't!

It was VERY traumatic! Shudder....

Things are only far fetched until you explore them and discover their veracity or their falsity. It is easy to dismiss an idea and roll out the tin foil in derision. It is harder to look at the idea and work to prove or disprove it. Such a generator would not need to be in west Africa as much as it would need to be able to focus on western Africa and have the capacity to track. There are a variety of possibilities with that.

Any nation with the technology and capability to control hurricanes would not ever need to use them. The energy in a hurricane, measured using the total amount of energy released by the condensation of water droplets (one of two ways of measuring hurricane energy), comes to around 200 times the world-wide electrical generating capacity. Note ....world-wide AND 200 times that. Thus the notion of a 'generator' being able to control such a maelstrom is, to simplify things, rather ludicrous. However the main point is not whether or not it is possible. And it is not. The chief factor is that IF it was possible the nation possessing such capabilities would not need to use guile and covertly send hurricanes bearing down on us. They could simply waltz in an take over, and there is nardly anything we could do to stop them. For example to 'control' a hurricane they would have to be able to make use of energy sources that are just immense in terms of energy released. For example harnessing, somehow, anti-matter to matter annihilition energy production. The only problem is moving that stuff from theoretical physics to reality takes a tad bit more than some 'metereologist' claiming the Ruskies are sending storms a-blustering up the US of A. Again, any nation with such tech would not bother with subtlety ....they would just barge in.

This claim is nothing more than a big, stupid, and rather ill-timed, load of nonsense.

Oh, and maybe now the next spiel will be that the explosion in Tunguska Siberia in 1908 was due to Ruskie research in anti-matter energy.

[Simmy2.5]

Hoagland's going to be popping in all night to talk about the Hurricane.

He just mentioned that he used to be an advisor to CBS, and CNN. Anyone here surprised by that? ;-)

They did it with a trained Monarch Butterfly which batted its wings in 3/4 time to a boogie beat in Madagascar. This Unusual tempo reacted with the atmospheric pressure and was ampliphied by the Fibonocci Sequenced waving of Sun Flowers in Tibet which harmonically meshed with the squeeks of unoiled Hindu Prayer wheels (Which it was discovered acoustically described Mandelbrot infinities) and gave birth to the microscopic Blackhole of Calcutta which later grew to greatness named Katrina...

[Ramius]

Lucky for me... this is only the second stupidest thing I've ever heard.

[Swordmaker]

Sorry about the technical jargon, but some things just don't translate well to Sanskrit.

[sam_paine]

Oh goodie. Now I get to be a target! Woopee!

[Siobhan]

So many mistakes with that reasoning almost causing me to use my Farscape Sikozu voice and hurl a copy of the The Prince through cyberspace.

The use of power is best exercised by stealth.

[Swordmaker]

Stangely enough, the butterfly, which was female, was named George... which may have given rise to the rumor that Katrina was created by George W. Bush.

PS: Now that you know the true facts, please spread them as I have several warehouses full of tin foil to unload at bargain prices.

PPS: Note that my tin foil is the authentic thing... not that "Tin" foil made from aluminium... which, while it does stop ultrahigh Venusian brain waves, it is, as you probably already know, completely useless against the much more dangerous and insidious sub-sonic Alpha Centaurian brain waves.

Oh, and maybe now the next spiel will be that the explosion in Tunguska Siberia in 1908 was due to Ruskie research in anti-matter energy.

No, actually the Mt. St. Helen's volcano eruption was due to Ruskie anti-matter energy, directed by a particle beam, origin unknown.

But they could be onto something...
Having just experimented in my home, I found that by just pressing a lever, I created and controlled a violent vortex, sucking down everything within sight and smell. And boy do I feel better.

[Siobhan]

'Target' is too exalted a term.

[wildcatf4f3]

Death to the BBC, and NPR, and oh God, I don't feel like writing all the Leftist traitor acronyms that deserve death... getting sleepy....

[redheadtoo]

Some meteorologist is claiming that Katrina was created and driven. He says that the Russians have claimed that they can do this.

This is just as silly as the Muslims claiming we created the last December's tsunami.

It would take god like powers to create a tsunami or a hurricane. Neither American nor Russian technology has such abilities.

[Maigrey]

I want some of what they've been smokin', 'cause it's rich.
