RE: TIL: Weird Double Whirlpool Systems Sail Across The Australian Seas

in #steemstem7 years ago

Nice expansion on the whirlpool topic. Plus its something I never heard of before :)

However, the word "modons" is kind of lame compared to something like "Malestrom!" The hydrologists that discovered this could have come up with a better name I think.

Now we've gotta find an instance of three whirlpools.

Sort:  

Thank you @tking77798!! :)

I agree, modons are not a kick-ass name! Those hydrologists were not very creative.

Do you think a triple system would be possible? It would definitely be fascinating nonetheless :)

I think it's a cool name! Reminds me of mastodons. It has a villainy sound to it. A "Lord Modon" wouldn't be out of place in Game of Thrones.

I am grinning from side to side right now. The name "modon" isn't really the only non-kick ass name here. Even the word Eddie has a comic ring to it. This sorta bears out the quality of an antithesis, you know, Modon is a villian, Eddie is a clown. It's like our scientists have a pretty bad sense of humor. Anyway, humor or not, this whirlpool thingy is a pretty wonderful natural phenomenon, and the write up too does justice to it. Nice one here @ruth-girl.

How bout a superhero movie where some evil guy named Eddie Modon, whose supervillain name is, fittingly, 'Whirlpool', goes against Deadpool? Which pool will win?

I'm laughing hard at this!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Honestly? When I read the word modon I thought of Austin Powers and his mojo

You remind me of the time when comedy movies were actually funny.

True...

Oh my! Oh my! Eddy is a lame name, but never really made the clown connection. It turns out this phenomenon is weirder than I thought :P

Thanks @funmiakinpelu! :)
