If I transfer schools a second time, my parents may very well hang me. Guess I'm down to dances to the sun god...

I might even have to hire someone to do the dance to the sun god, because I'm just too white for that...

I'll trade you for northeast Ohio where it never gets over 25 in the winter and is always 80 in September and May...

What really sucked was that my school district was always tight for cash because our teachers are overpaid. Anyways, the didn't believe in turning on the heat till fog was coming out of your mouth and there's no such thing as air conditioning in my school district.

Thankfully, my university has all of its buildings at the same temperature year round. It's a shame the whole university is enclosed in a dome that is kept at 85 degrees. Then, all the hot cuties would break out their shorts and skimpy tops again!!!

Try Canadian weather :P I have no idea what the temperatures you are saying mean though. Never quite understood the logic behind Farenheit. The numbers are so random, 32 for freezing, no clue what for boiling.

Just about everything from the U.S. is screwed up somehow we were taught that though so there's no turning back adn boiling is 212 degrees in "standard" units absolute 0 is -460. Kelvin is 100 more than customary every degree 0 degrees for you is 100 for physical scientists

I agree, the metric system is so much more simpler... But alas, I'm in the minority here in the states...

What's sad is most people in the U.S. think the metric system is too hard to comprehend. Yeah, understanding a base 10 system is a whole lot harder than understanding why we use a king's foot to measure distance...

Some days, people in this country can drive me nutz...

We really just use a nice blend of the two unofficially. I have no idea why. I have no idea how tall I am or how much I weigh in metric, but I'd never consider measuring a distance with imperial.

The GAT thread will never die!!!!!

I just haven't had anything good to add to it lately.

OK, here's something for it.

If any of you like Trans-Siberian Orchestra, go see them in concert. It's one hell of a show and some great music. And if you don't know who they are, go pick up one of their CD's. They do holiday and non-holiday music. (picture Christmas carols done to rock music) CHECK THEM OUT!!!!
