"mammatus" means what you think it means (i think) (my little latin dictionary is coy on the topic)

mark s (mark s), Sunday, 17 July 2005 09:57 (twenty years ago)

the blushing dictionary -- what would that make a good title for??

They are amazing. I'm a little suspicious that this is a prank. I think if I saw clouds like that, I would bow down and worship them.

"Three of these photos were featured on the front and back cover of the Journal of Meteorology and circulated in 26 countries."

of course the journal's editorial board may be entirely made up of gullible idiots

Or perhaps they just thought they made a pretty cover.

Alba (Alba), Monday, 18 July 2005 10:38 (twenty years ago)

I hope so! (xpost)
