NOAA set out in August saying that there was a 85% chance of higher than average number of Hurricanes this year, raising the probably up from 75% in May. They called for 13-16 named storms, 7-9 Hurricanes, with 3-5 being major.

Reality is there were 9 named storms, 4 hurricanes, 2 major.

Or between 40%-60% error rate.

How could this be? There was an 85% chance that these numbers were right! The numbers were even raised because the scientists were so sure.

It make you wonder how accurate these same scientist are about the probably of global warming. I think you could get better results about what the climate will be like in 5 years just by flipping a coin.

No person can tell you with any certainty what the climate will be like in 5 years. It's all nothing more than a guess.

For the record, I have NO affiliation whatsoever with it. I just ran across it and think it's the funniest thing I've seen in years.

I had a cold about 10 days ago and now feel a lot better but I still have a really chesty cough which I can't seem to shift and it's really tiring.
Don't think it's bronchitis because I feel fine in myself. Any advice?

I always suffer with lingering coughs after my cold has gone....

are you willing to give up some logical convictions, in order to obtain faith?

Personally, I think the idea of an infinitely powerful protector is wonderful, but i'm not willing to give up logic in order to believe in it.

If you are willing to do the 2nd, i will give you this...

Six Easy Steps

1. First, you must want to believe in God (the first requirement).
2. Next, understand that believing in God in the absence of evidence is especially noble.
3. Then, realize that the human ability to believe in God in the absence of evidence might itself constitute evidence for the existence of God.
4. Now consider any need for further evidence (both in yourself and in others) to be a form of temptation, spiritually unhealthy, or a corruption of the intellect.
5. Refer to steps 2-4 as acts of “faith.”
6. Return to 2.


also, why didn't many Christians answer my last question?

My IQ is 130 on the Stanford-Binet scale. Entry for Mensa is an IQ of 132. This is frustrating... will my IQ vary if I take the test multiple times? Or will it increase as I get older? (I'm 15)

Oh ya, in the IQ test, that's my age-adjusted IQ.

Forcing your opinon and beliefs on people as vulnerable as children is surely one of the most underhanded and despicable things you can do.

Shouldn't it be covered in the child protection laws?

For seven years I toughed it out. I wanted the best for our baby so I moved in with him. He never asked me to marry him so I had to decide whether I should leave or ask him to marry me... We got married in 2005 and everything went smoothly. I figured if we bought a house, I'd be happy.. We bought the house but still something was missing. So I figured maybe we should have more children. We tried for the past year and a half. .. A few months ago we got pregnant but I miscarried around the 8th week. That was such a difficult time. Things are ok right now. I love him still, he's my best friend.. but I'm unhappy. I don't think I want to be married anymore. I'm not the same person I used to be. I had to make a lot of sacrifices and plenty of compromises to make our lives together work. He doesn't know anything's wrong. But I've been crying a lot. If I stay I'll remain miserable. but if I leave, I'll be breaking up our family. I don't want to make life hard for our 6 yr old

I grew up poor, far beyond the poverty line. Ever since I turned 18 I've manage to improve my standard of living more and more. It seems as if the more money I have, the happier I am. Why can't money buy happiness?

If your computer does not have RAM, what types of files will you be unable to open, and why?

To me the answer would be obvious- if there is no Ram, you would not be able to maneuvor to open anything, but that is why I am asking you all:)

Thank you very much!

Is there a site I can reference this question
