Just a quick aside...for US americans (big smile)... Here is a c to f or f to c conversion website: http://www.scorpiosite69.freeserve.co.uk/temperature.htm Any way you look at it, hot is hot, and cold is cold....I'll take a beer in any temperature. X| Cheers, Frank
Alternatively.. get that abacuss out temp(F) * 8 / 5 + 32 = temp(C) =)

San Diego: In January: 14C In July: 21C Beat this ;P I vote pro drink X|
San Diego is very nice, but overly priced in my humble opinion. My wife and I are buying a house in Ibiza (island off the coast of Spain) where it's 90's (f) in the summer and 70's (f) in the winter. Add to that, the beautiful architecture, nude beaches and a much more liberal comuunity that I prefer. In addition, half the year the island is all but vacant as it's main source of income is tourism (mainly british and german) and it's just a hop from several cities where I grew up a child. Sorry to slightly change the subject, but I just had to share the news with everyone as my wife and I can't wait :-D Cheers, Tom "Ya got lucky, ya lucky prick" - Keith McCready

Um, not quite. Try these instead. ;) C = (F-32)*5/9 F = (C*9/5)+32 John

Talk about impressive. Look at this. 14F = -10C Which one is more impressive? :)
Did you know -40F is the same as -40C Is any one that cold :eek: ?

Nude beaches? Yum... :-) Quickly, Akbar! Get me a reservation on the next plane to Spain!
How did I know that with all the positives I mentioned, you'd *focus* on that one ;) Cheers, Tom "Ya got lucky, ya lucky prick" - Keith McCready

North Italy: -3 C in winter +33C in summer
Last time I was in Milan (5 years ago :(( ) it was 36C the whole time. I couldn't believe how formally everyone was dressed. I was wearing shorts and sandals and the locals were looking at me like I was a vagrant. David

I prefer the variation to that joke "It's not as hard you'd imagine." ;) Cheers, Tom "Ya got lucky, ya lucky prick" - Keith McCready

Actually, I think much of the english system makes more sense, though it's not as convenient for mathematical calculations. For instance, in Farenheight, the average acceptable temperature range for a human is between 0 degrees F and 100 degrees F. There is some tolerance, but basically, anything above or below that is REALLY out there. Centigrade: that's -17 to 37. It's also less precise at the integer level. Weight: 16 ounces in a pound. This is easily divisible by 2, 4 and 8, so you can divide it easier than 10 based numbers which are only divisble by 2 and 5. The same is true of feet, 12 inches is divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 6. The english system was used for so long because it was convenient. I can measure roughly a yard with body parts, or a foot with my foot (not exact of course), or an inch by the height of my thumb up to the first knucle. How do I measure a meter? How do I measure a centimeter? A mile... well, that's pretty hard for ANYONE to measure without equipment ;)
