First of all, if the National Weather Service tracks winter storms, should the National Teachers Association track brain storms? Or would that fall to the American Neurological Association? Or maybe MENSA?If something 'hits you like a thunderbolt,' does that mean you're the 'thundernut?'
How can thunder, which is a sound, be a 'bolt' at all?
I learned Saturday that a lightning bolt is usually 2" wide and 20 miles long...just who measured THAT?!! And who measured the weight of the sun and distance it is from earth? Did they buy the scale and tape measure at SEARS?
Oh, and howcome 'meteorology' is the study of clouds? Shouldn't it be the study of meteors and 'cloudology' be the study of clouds, with the guys doing the reporting called cloudologists? Although, with typical Anglo-Saxon abbreviating, I'm sure cloudologists would become cloudists, which sounds enough like clod-ists if you give it the right accent that the oft-wrong cloudologists would then simply be called Clods! OK, I just answered my question about meteors and clouds.
'Weathermen' (or would Weatherpeople be more politically correct?) makes sense...whether right...whether wrong...still weather comes! ;p
Oh, and if we get brain storms, does that account for why so many of us are 'drips' or are 'in a fog?' And since we were prototyped by the Original Dirtball and used parts of said DB (cf. Gen. 2:7, 22) does that account for 'muddying the waters' of conversation when we're 'storming about?' Should the human race's theme song be 'Windy,' the 1967 hit by The Association? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qlqwpq7xycU] ...or maybe 'We'll Sing in the Sunshine' by Gale Garnett? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=JxZI0Cxaq20] ...or maybe 'Blowin' In the Wind' by Peter, Paul & Mary?
Well, I guess that's the whether or not report for today...forecast is for more time to come... brainstorms predicted on the horizon...just remember my Facebook Friend, the answer is Blowin' In The Wind!!
Got umbrella?
