Hurricane Wilma coming along .... now I wonder: .... how come hurricanes are mostly given female names? :what:

Confused *

They're not, they alternate between men and women.

This friend I asked said: " ... because we're powerful!"

Yes, well, this may be true but it's still 50/50.

they go through the alphabet in order, alternating between male and female names.
and really big hurricanes' names will never be repeated ie. there will never be another hurrican katrina, so that people don't get confused.
