All you can say in this site's defence is that it, rather than reality, occupies the warped minds of some of the planet's most twisted people; gods know what they would get up to if it wasn't here.  In these arguably insane times, any lessening or attenuation of madness is maybe something to be thankful for.

So, apparently, in Germany companies can pay to name weather fronts. I assume this is great publicity if your company gets credit for a white Christmas or a perfectly breezy early summer day.

Unfortunately for BMW, they lent the surname of their classic Mini Cooper to a deadly winter storm. This somehow leads to them taking some responsibility for THE WEATHER! :lol:

Now I'm wondering what I would name a front if I were over there...
