Does anyone know the full link between a butterfly flapping its wings causing a hurricane on the other side of the world?

someone told me last week that a butterfly in Peru caused hurricane Katrina which hit New Orleans.
if this was the case GW Bush would already have invaded Peru to get the f**ker  :D

The phrase refers to the idea that a butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that ultimately cause a tornado to appear (or prevent a tornado from appearing). The flapping wing represents a small change in the initial condition of the system, which causes a chain of events leading to large-scale phenomena. Had the butterfly not flapped its wings, the trajectory of the system might have been vastly different.

Aye, but what is the chain of events? I needs to know, cause if i see it happening then I can nip it in the bud, save the world, win a Nobel prize and be home in time for Coronation Street.

If the butterfly in question is Tony Fearon in a butterfly costume, then yes, it is possible.

Them bloody Butterflies, their always at it. Flapping their damn wings like their doing nothin wrong.

I'd kill the lot of them.







Just to be sure!

Surely passing wind could have the same effect. Say, for example, A4SA trumpeted in Forkhill and later that week there was a tornado in Bloemhof, can that be traced back to the hole?

If a butterfly can do this, imagine what a good Guinness scuttery fart can do.
