I am so serious!! It was in fact "Make Fun of Twister" night on FOX,
as before the 'Files they had the premier of the new Eddie Murphy
foammation cartoon "The PJ's" where the super had to unclog a toilet -
screaming "It's an F3! It's an F3!!!". Then of course the kid asks
him, "Super, what's an F5 like?" Super looks aghast and says "Nobody's
ever suh-vived an F5 son!" And so on.
Actually considering that X-Files got the Coriolis Effect incorrect in a
previous episode I was impressed that some of the meteorological banter
in last night's episode was mostly correct.
M: "You know much about weather radar, Scully?"
S: "A little."
M: "What's red mean?"
S: "I think it means thunderstorms."
Well yes Scully, if you're looking at Reflectivity data anyway. ;)
The Chase Is Out There!
