I didn't take you to raise. I'll teach you how to fish. But I won't feed you

Fins, this was fun, but I have to go feed the animals. Glad you are feeling better.

Fins (view profile) | Posted 8:43 pm, 10/12/2014 | No, fact not opinion. While studies on weather lore are limited, there are some on August fogs. If you don't know how to find them, then you are less competent that I previously thought

Good ole fins, ask him for any real detail and he has none - always hides behind telling the other person that they have to dig out a citation of they are stupid. It's like a bad law school trick.

Fins, the way to really break it off in someone is to know your facts, and when you state them, be able to show where you got your information otherwise it's just puffing.

Bench how in the world can counting beans in a jar be considered superstitious? Each time you get laid, you put a lentil in the jar. Count them up once a year for the annual total. Now the black squirrel thing and the lima beans for the foggy mornings, that is probably hoakum.

Fins (view profile) | Posted 8:32 pm, 10/12/2014 | Except that the two weather conditions that you used as an example cause drastic different patterns. But more years than not, the beans in the jar are fairly consistent in the final total. Which would make for a logical conclusion that your hypothesis is wrong (at least with the two named weather patterns). While the premis of your theory is plausible, fact proves it's not correct. A short search on the subject finds that the August fog weather lore to be right as often as it is wrong. Given that humans naturally remember positives much more than they remember negatives, it makes sense that this superstition has been kept alive.

"fact proves it's not correct" - what facts Fins? You are tossing out an opinion not a fact - where are your citations of the sources of what you claim as a fact? I try to back up my facts with citations, I notice you never seem to have a source or a citation. Why not?

Fins (view profile) | Posted 8:09 pm, 10/12/2014 | Being that El Niño and La Niña are not consistent, then it would mean the bean counting would not be accurate, which would make it a superstition. No science supports the bean crap

Gosh fins you are having a bad night. Consistency with the Pacific oscillation is an oxymoron since the wave pattern is a natural oscillation, the expression of which contributes to the amount of moisture and the relative oscillations of the northern jet stream. They may in fact be no correlation or a correlation without causation but the inconsistency of the phase of the oscillation - El Nino or La Nina, could be the very thing you are measuring by the beans.
