Do you ever wonder why hurricanes get people names, like Katrina and Dean? It's humanizes a force that causes mass destruction.
Can you imagine sharing your name with a hurricane? Should you be flattered to be associated with so much power? Or upset to be associated with the destruction?
Maybe they should name hurricanes after military figures that nobody likes, such as Hitler and Napoleon. Or maybe Bible names of murders and evildoers, like Cain and Lucifer. Or villains in comic books, like Lex Luther . . .

When the news reports were full of the pounding that Jamaica was taking from Hurricane Dean, I couldn't stop giggling. "Dean! Duuuude! You just totalled Kingstown!"
Totally, dude. That's what I was thinking too.
