Rain today.

We as guys make mistakes. Sometimes they are big and we hear about them from our wives far longer than we feel we deserve. However sorry I feel for Hulk Hogan, I think he will take this one (WARNING! NWS! Privates shown.) to his grave! If I’m not mistaken though, despite her dark roots Mrs. Hulkster is a natural blonde!

I can hear her now. "You want it? Go look at the picture because that’s the only time you’ll ever see it again!"

As for the rest of us, we guys wish to thank Mr. Hogan for making our errors in judgement so insignificant in comparison.

I remember when I lived in Kenner, Lousiana (4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th grades) that we had charts and would track the hurricanes. The feeling that a hurricane was coming was not one of fear but of joy that school would be cancelled but sadness that for every inch of water I had in my street a friend of mine had an inch in their house. The rains would come and they would stack their furniture on bricks. Neighbors would chain off roads or sit on porches with shotguns to remind people not to create wakes while driving past their houses.

Well now that everyone has become hurricane watchers, The Severe Weather Information Center is a website that should be part of your weather bookmarks.

Boing Boing has been featuring strange vending machines from Japan including a vending machine that distributes eggs, one that distributes beer, and my favorite one that delivers live lobsters.

Katrinacane Friends continue to update on their trials and tribulations.

Of course, the best New Orleans stories have come from The Interdictor who reported the levee leaks nearly 12 hours before CNN.

This site does an excellent job of combining data on hurricane Rita with Google Maps. Boing boing pointed the site out and notes that the change from Category 4 to Category 5 and back corresponds with ocean depth.

This picture from the National Hurricane Center reveals Rita to be male not female! For those virgin minds out there that evade potty humor and just can’t see it imagine the Atlantic as a female with Florida and Cuba as…well…enough said.

Of course, this could be similar to the Phallus on the cover of The Little Mermaid.

On September 9 I reported "Katrina was man made" with Russian technology from 1976. Looking at the track of Rita and how cleanly it missed Cuba it is clear that the equipment must reside on Cuba. Considering Cuba and Russia’s past it would be easy to assume a collaboration. Turns out though that "Japanese Mafia Behind Hurricane Katrina" and probably Rita.

The generators emit a soundwave between three and 30 megahertz and Stevens claims the Russians invented the storm-creating technology back in 1976 and sold it to others in the late 1980s.
…
At least ten nations and organizations possess the technology but Stevens suspects the Japanese Yakuza created Katrina in order to make a fortune in the futures market and to get even with the U.S. for the 1945 bombing of Hiroshima.

Stevens presents his argument in a radio show at http://www.thesciencedetective.com/.

I just noticed that the free minimac website is putting an emphasis that they can only accept one account per household. So my wife (and anyone that wants to help me) needs to use the referral code http://minimacs.freepay.com/?r=14217121.

I should point out that you have to sign-up for 1 service which is significantly less than the cost of a minimac. The service that I am going to use is the printer ink. Since we all need to periodically buy printer ink it only makes sense to me to use that as the promotion to qualify for the minimac.

Early on in the series Lost (good read) I noticed that in all the flash scenes other survivors on the island were noticed. It might be Hurley in a television set in the background or a direct interaction between two characters at the airport (like Hurley and the science teacher).

I began to think that they tired of continuing such a game as it became harder to link people in the flashbacks to people on the island. Last night with the appearance of Desmond as the only person in the stadium I knew my theory and fallen apart. Perhaps I was wrong!
