There are many ways the word "hurricane" can be used in American
English. By far the most common, in my experience, is to refer
to those large, circular storms from the tropics. The strongest
rating on the Beaufort scale of wind intensity is listed as
"hurricane force," yes. So your dictionary is partially right.
Thirdly, the word can also simply mean "a strong wind storm."
For example, Rose Wilder Lane (I think that's her name, she was
the famous Laura Ingalls Wilder's daughter) wrote a book titled
"Let the Hurricane Roar," and she was referring to windy storms
on the great American prairie.
And as someone (Olaf?) said, mph = miles per hour. I don't know
what that is in kilometers per hour, and I'm too horrible at
math to hazard a guess. ;)
That is the scientific definition of a hurricane.
This might help...

Hi
I am really curious to listen to the record that followed the deluxe edition of the Mickey Mouse in Color book, so is it possible that anyone (who owns the book, of course ;-)) could make an mp3 out of the record ? I know it's a vinyl record, but I would be really greatful if anyone could do this!
Best wishes,

How many times do people need to tell you to stop misusing other

I can't let a potential DuckTales discussion just drift away! My favorite
episodes are the Donald ones! I LOVE "Sphinx for the Memories"! It still
really creeps me out! Donald's being possessed really pushes the envelope,
and I love it!
All three of the five-parters are very dear to me as well. While I am
mostly unhappy with the later episodes, I love the Gizmoduck and Bubba
origins. While I love the Bubba serial, I am still amused by how lame the
general idea of Bubba is. There is some degree of ludicrousness that I can
accept and love in the duck world, but whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scrooge's adopting
a little cave duck is a bit much.
"Send in the Clones" is a good one (it was the first one I watched, and it
hooked me). I honestly don't care much for "Till Nephews Do Us Part,"
though. I guess I just don't buy Scrooge in it. I love The Parent Trap
homage, though! The ASAP running gag is good too!
Incidentally, on Saturday morning I popped a six hour tape full of episodes
in the VCR. My little boy and I watched for a couple of hours, and we had a
ball! "Duckman of Aquatraz" really struck me. Scrooge's character seems
really off (he's such a nice guy), but I love the character of Mad Dog
McGurk! I did feel myself affected somewhat by the sentiment.
Additionally, we watched a few of the Barks adaptations including "Robot
Robbers" and "The Lost Crown of Genghis Khan." While I like both episodes,
I am amazed that NOTHING of Barks remains!

Ditto from me! I haven't seen much of your work, Mr. Fecchi, but I love
your art and panel layouts in "The Deep" and "Time of Reckoning." I like a
variety of styles in my comics! I think the panel layouts suit the fast
pacing of the stories well. I felt really drawn in. The third page of
"Time of Reckoning" is genius! I found myself staring at it quite a while.
At any rate, don't change your style because of one bit of criticism.

Hi all!
First I can tell Mr. Fecchi that I off course will continue to read his and
other creators stories in the DD Pocket books as long as most of the stories
presented there are done in a more traditional style.
Secondly I think it's important to notice that it's Americans (Matthew
Williams and Jonathan H. Gray) who so far has supported the "untraditional
style" here on DCML in this round. My guess is that it is because that's an
American style well known from Marwells super hero stories, and from 1999 to
2003 (in the non-Disney period in the USA) such Marwell stuff was probably
the comics most commonly read by our two mentioned friends. Thus I am not
sure if their view are representative for the whole of DCML.
Third - copying Marwells style may be original in the world od Disney
comics, but it is not what I will call specially experimenting or inventive.

I think it's important to notice that it's a Norwegian (Sigvald Gr?sfjeld jr.)
who so far has supported the "traditional style" here on DCML in this round. My
guess is that it is because this is a style he does not know from Dinsei's duck
stories, and from 1990 to 2003 (in the Don Rosa period in Norway) such Dinsei
stuff was probably the comics most commonly read by our mentioned friend. Thus
I am not sure if his view is representative for the whole of DCML.
Sigvald, haven't you noticed that both Brazilians and Norwegians have written
that they LOVE this style?

Why do you have to always assume that every sane person in the world agree with
you in everything, and if they don't, that's because they've got some bad
influence? It is NORMAL to have different taste. It is NORMAL to accept that
others have different taste than you. And it is NORMAL to accept that not all
comic books are made for you and you alone. It is NOT normal to always think
that everybody agrees with you, like you do in this case. Sigvald, YOU'RE the
_only_ person who's said anything bad about this style so far. Until now, four
or five people have said their opinion against yours. And you just say
that "these people are Americans, thus they've read Marvel, thus they've had
bad influence, thus their opinions aren't important, this everybody agree with
me". It's not like that!
I normally prefer saying things only once, but it's obvious that someone didn't
hear me last time I said it (although he answered me), so: Dear Sigvald, dear
Massimo, I'm a Norwegian, and I'm proud to say that I _LIKE_ Fecchi's panel
design! I even like it _BETTER_ than the traditional style!
But my view may not be that important, as I read as much as *TWO* of Marvel's
superhero stories in my life.

Nope, I have never used the term "bad influence". And I don't mean that
either. It's more correct to say that they are influenced by non-Disney
comics. Disney and Marvel are *not* the same - I guess everybody here can
agree about that - so why should Disney comics then look like Marvel comics?

Right now mr. Fecchi's panel-style is a frequent debated topic here on DCML.
The responses to my late comments about that topic seems to indicate an
underlying problem on DCML ? the "rule of correctness". This unwritten rule
says that it's OK to be positive to a matter like mr. Fecchi's panel-style,
while it's not really OK to be critical or negative to the same.
Think about it - still 99% or so off all Disney stories are drawn in the
"traditional style". Why is it so if I am the only one in DCML who actually
prefer Disney comics drawn that way? IMO the only way to understand this is
that other DCMLers who tends to agree with me in this concrete matter for
some reason decides to remain quit ? could that be because criticism of this
kind is not seen as correct behaviour in DCML?

Right now mr. Fecchi's panel-style is a frequent debated topic here on DCML.
