It's too damned cold. There's condensation on my office windows and it sure is not humid in here.
And the roads are so salty, clouds of deicer billow up and you can taste it. Uhg.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

hip deep in pie
I never convert the temperature in the winter, but in the summer, I often do. I guess 77F seems warmer than 25C.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Of course! It's a bigger number.

What is even happening?
That makes sense to me, Sue. You may want to be afraid, now.
With the fever thing -- I was just thinking that a 1 degree body temperature jump is in Celsius is so much more significant than it is, in Fahrenheit.
37C is 98.6F; 38C is 100.4F; 39C is 102.2F; 40C is 104.

Art Crawl!!!
Okay, the Women's final is on at approximately 8:30 pm Central time - there would be no logical reason for ESPN to NOT show it live, right? Same with the Men's tomorrow?
And there is a preview for the Top Chef finale up - it looks like they brought back Betty instead of Cliff. Interesting teams: Marcel with Sam and Michael and Ilan with Elia and Betty.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. I think if people measure body temperature in C, they include the first decimal for greater precision (for the reason you mentioned).

Congratulations again Jessica! I just read the baby spoiler!
Does anyone remember someone posting an online savings account service thing here? I can't remember the name of it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Woman, 65, saves husband from mountain lion
Nell Hamm said she grabbed a 4-inch-diameter log and beat the animal with it, but it would not release its hold on her husband's head.
"Jim was talking to me all through this, and he said, 'I've got a pen in my pocket and get the pen and jab him in the eye,"' she said.
"So I got the pen and tried to put it in his eye, but it didn't want to go in as easy as I thought it would."
I hope Nutty is taking notes.

If that report about Nancy Pelosi is actually true, then my liking of her has increased muchly even if she does blink a lot.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
The tradeoff for measuring fevers in C rather than F is that tenths of a degree are more easily measured (and meaningful) in C.
