The Arlene and the Zeta
Hey Happy New Year, can we finally start a new Hurricane season and stop naming storms after Greek letters? First off, the tragic destruction of Hurricane Beta will probably lead to the retirement of the name. That means next time we have 23 storms, we’ll have to jump confusingly from Alpha to Gamma, which will be especially hard after the jump to Alpha confuses me again. Also, people who haven’t majored in math (and, I guess, weren’t in a “Greek” organization in college) might get confused about Zeta being the last storm of the season, and might start thinking that Zeta is the last letter of the Greek alphabet. (Don’t deny it, we all wish it WAS the last letter, Omega is a dumb letter to be last.)
But whatever, Hurricane names aside, the new year is here, and that means WTFbrb is about to get going on a brand new year of all sorts of stuff. We may already be a few days late in, well, acknowledging the new year, but we’re just as dedicated as the next guy to making 2006 the BEST YEAR EVER (WTF people who actually say that, it’s like, duh, we’re not trying to preserve 1958 or 1892 as the best year ever or something).
Uh. Since blogs will be so popular this year, WTFbrb will strive to up the ante to compete with its competitors (theannalog you are so ready to be pwntx0rzed). That is why my fr1st post for the new year was basically about the weather.
