Non Sequitur

Meteorologists have noted that there is an unusually high number of hurricanes in the Caribbean this year. Experts are in disagreement as to what the fundamental cause is. However, one frequent observer has conjectured that, "this represents yet another failure of the Relational Model of Data."

"If NOAA had stayed with proven products like PICK, and MUMPS, we wouldn't be having these problems", she said. When asked what the connection was, she replied, "it's the same way I know when a storm is coming. I can feel it in my bones."
