95 ? out where, on the surface of the sun ? nowhere near me, anyway. it's only around 17° out here (that'd be C, the only proper way of measuring anything, not like the nonsensical empirical standard no-one else can understand your continuing to cling to).

no, no, no, no, NO,

it's a mild 290 degrees....

Hey the ranges of both C & F were totally arbitrarily (adv - oh wrong thread) selected.

zelda_pinwheel · 06-04-2008, 12:10 PM

i don't know, 0° = freezing water, 100° = boiling water, seems pretty logical to me...

It was either that or "Because of 9/11." But that seems to be getting old as an excuse to do stupid things in the world.

well, we didn't want to say anything, but it has been rather over-used. it's getting a bit threadbare in some parts.

F is a silly unit, if you think about it for 12 microseconds. So, it's 35 C out there now. This old dog wants some iced tea and a cool dip in the pool.

zelda_pinwheel · 06-04-2008, 12:25 PM

holy cow, 35°... *sigh* that's too hot for me but if we could split the difference i bet we would both be happy...
