75 F? Man, that is a nice day! I don't even want to know what the temperature was around here today. *melts thinking about it* Silly cattle rancher!

By any chance, did you write this post while eating a steak?? [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Flag_Canada.gif[/img] [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Flag_Canada.gif[/img]

Farenheit set the human body temperature at about 100 F and the 0 at the lowest temperature he could measure, so it is not exactly illogical.

True, but he messed even that up since avg. body temperature is 98.6°F if memory serves.

One year, back in 92, we had a heat wave here and I was working night shift for the big Red S. One morning, after a grooling night stocking and cleaning, the manager came in and ripped us a new one because the work wasn't done. I asked him if he had slept well that night, and he rather rudely responded by saying, "No, the heat kept me awake." I smiled slightly and said in response, now imagine how hot is for us, we sleep during the day. He never *****ed again during the heat wave.

The farenheit system was designed for weather tracking so if you think about it a temperature scale from 0 to 100 makes pretty good sense as most temperatures throughout the year fall in that range. At least in Europe where the scale was invented.

whilst i find all point here regarding the fahrenheit system valid and many informative as to its origin
i am unfortunatly stuck in the most backward progressive section of a progressive bassackwards country

as our country in the 70's was to adopt the metric system sprovisionally to globalize world measurement systems and allow for more effecient trade
over 20 years later we're still half n half
ex gallon of milk vs 3 liters of coke (source local store)
i was as a teen all for going all metric that yeazr i mean come on a sytstem of measurement that can convert from length to area to volume using two units of measure instead of having to use up 17 (seems like) sq ft hectares miles ounces galons drams sheesh i keep a book just to figure em all out


i still wish we could go all metric worldwide i feel it would be a first crawl towaards the global identity we might develope in another 500 years

also how far are we from the release now um 8 weeks ????
