[quote:2012Portal:MV8yMDE2NjkwXzMzODg3NzQ1XzdCQjg3NzU0] [quote:Miggy:MV8yMDE2NjkwXzMzODg3NjA1XzFFMTZEODY3] [quote:Truthserum:MV8yMDE2NjkwXzMzODg3NTkwX0JERjgyOUY4] Yeah..they keep delaying the countdown.... [/quote] Why? [/quote] Winds at 7,000 feet are just too high right now, but the meteorologist is quite confident for an 11am lift-off. Now, totally off-topic, but related- Why is a meteorologist called as such? I mean, "meteor" means, well an meteor - "[i]A meteor is the visible path of a meteoroid that has entered the Earth's atmosphere.[/i]" Sauce: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteoroid and the meaning of "ologist" - "[i]One who studies a subject[/i]" Sauce: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-ologist Then how to you get this, "meteorologist" - "[i]A meteorologist is an individual with specialized education who uses scientific principles to explain, understand, observe or forecast the earth's atmospheric phenomena and/or how the atmosphere affects the earth and life on the planet.[/i]" Special Sauce: http://weather.about.com/od/weatherfaqs/f/meteorologist.htm :another do: [/quote]
