That's really bizarre...

I wonder if NASA is preparing for the April Fool's Day...

[cilu]

Very strange.

NASA cannot afford to come with jokes like this. They would loose credibility.

Perhaps the little green men underneath it made it.

[dglienna]

it keeps rotating? or it was made once...

Some people might not understand

[Krishnaa]

Nice one..

[exterminator]

Why is it bizzare?

[Krishnaa]

Have you not read that news on nasa's site ?

[cilu]

Why is it bizzare?

Hexagonal storm? Why bizzare? What do you think?

[Krishnaa]

Hexagonal storm? Why bizzare? What do you think?

He could have seen that earlier, quite possible in company of green guys.

[exterminator]

Yeah, so it is a hexagonal storm - so what? I don't understand what is so bizzare about it...

[Siddhartha]

Hmm... You see, you come from a part of the world where storms are typically triangular, square and even octahedral.

So, I can understand you not finding a hexagonal storm bizarre...

[cilu]

I think exterminator is an alien. Look at his avatar. Look at what he finds normal. Look at this name. He's here to exterminate us. But we will not give up without a fight! We will not go down to the basements of history! We are strong, and we will prevail!

It's nearing April 1st... To me this seems to be a prank played by NASA...

Lets see...

[exterminator]

C'mon, that's not true! I mean, that's different.. But yeah, just recently I saw an hexadecagonal one and the culprits for that are home!

Well, stop now.. I am not exterminating anyone, neither am I an alien. That avatar is not normal, I agree and neither do I consider that storm normal. I am just asking why does that have to be bizarre? Simple.. that is my question.. can anyone enlighten me please?

[Siddhartha]

Hmm... You see, you come from a part of the world where that avataar is considered not normal, and so are hexagonal storms, but neither are considered bizarre...

Things are a bit different round where these people come from - exterminating mosquitoes (or is that a dragon fly?) and hexagonal storms are bizarre entities out here...
