Typhoon season

It is now typhoon season in Japan. That means that every night during the news they show these highly detailed maps with swirling clouds and stuff and show the typhoon's predicted trajectory. It is heaps of fun for me cos we don't get that stuff at home. Typhoon number 7 passed away to our east and all we got of it was some slightly stronger winds yesterday. Typhoon 9 was no where near Japan, it passed over Taiwan and still it made it onto the map so I started wondering at which point they decide to give a typhoon a number, thereby identifying it as weather than affects this country. Even though it didn't even go near Okinawa it was still counted as Japan's typhoon number 9. Hey, just have a look at the word typhoon again;

TYPHOON

How silly is it!!

But you can do that with any word really. Last night I had salmon steak for tea. Yummmm. With a banana. Can't get much better than that. All that's left to eat now is a tomato, 2 slices of bread and a kilo of chocolate - oh, and 3 cans of beer!!
