#2 looks like a 1965 Mercury Comet Caliente, but since this is the Weather Channel it will probably be a Comet Cyclone.

#14 Tornado Typhoon

Isn't this group puzzle already finished now?  ???
Title: Re: The Weather Channel
Post by: Otto Puzzell on November 22, 2008, 07:32:07 AM
I asked the two totally gay Nordic dudes, and they conform that neilshouis's correct ID of the Tornado Typhoon closes this one out.

Points are as follows:

Allemano   2
Arthur Dent   1
Bezor   1
DynaMike   1
gbitas   1
hugo99   1
JeffJue   5
Joao Gois   2
neilshouse   2

The continuum transfunctioner is once again safe.
