Rita
September 26th, 2005
It must be perculiarly annoying to find out that someone has named an enormous, water-saturated volume of high velocity, low pressure oxygen and (mostly) nitrogen after you. However, exactly this has happened with my mother and hurricane Rita.
Alternatively it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to snip hilarious headlines and stick them to your pin-board, like “Monster Rita Barrels Across the Gulf“, “Oil jumps as Rita threatens facilities” or the improbable “Rita is like a buzz saw“.
