[Videokid]

for example hurricane Alex in 2010 was a hurricane

@flaskis Ah, well, I have noticed that, I usually mess stuff up and don't have time to re-record it though. :-P

[jeremiahjw]

Thanks! YouTuber CGPGrey already did a fantastic video on the history of Santa, otherwise I'd do it. :)

[jeremiahjw]

@poolmunch Ah, just read today's XKCD, I didn't see that before I made this.

[jeremiahjw]

@flaskis My voice was acting weird the day I recorded it.

Perhaps if people in the America's could stop naming hurricanes, people in other parts of the world would have more sympathy and give more to people who affectionately name these destructive gusts of wind.

I imagine there'd be mass hysteria if they started using menacing names. Imagine them reporting 'Murderthon 6000 is only hours away from you" on the evening news! :D

I was eating a hard shell taco while watching this...
Once I heard Hurricane Murderthon 6000, well long story short I got taco all over my lap.

[jeremiahjw]

@jermtheworm71296 Yeah, I based it off that.

[edgajam]

Actually the hureicanes are named by the person who discovered the hurricane.

[MostWantedGamer]

hurricane chuck norris is incoming december 21st

[SeekayFilms]

@poolmunch It was on 4chan too on August 26th. I'd guess that's the original.

[PeanutNYC]

I knew some of this but not all of this. Kinda cool info. Thanks!

[gunslingerak]

Really interesting! FYI, though - there's only one N in "menacing"

[vatnidd]

QUXYZ are not used :(
They're the cool letters in my opinion.
