I’ll bet you’re wondering why post on such an absurd subject. Well, we all know that originally, hurricanes were named solely after women. The feminists got pissed and subsequently, in 1979, male names were added into the mix. The ethnic background is pretty diverse.
Except for one group. Why don’t we see names such as:
• Ali
• Azzam
• Bashar
• Gamal
• Hafez
• Khalid
• Mahmoud
• Muammar
• Ruhollah
• Saddam
• Tariq
• Yasser
Yes I’m being facetious. [/snicker]
And we certainly can’t leave out good ol’ MOHAMMED! ‘Mo’ for short. Please feel free to add to this list (keeping in tune with the theme), then we can send this in to the National Hurricane Center.
Oh yes. OPEN THREAD!
