What makes one better than the other?

Celsius has freezing at zero and boiling at 100. Nice, even, easy to remember numbers. Now, in the other corner, we have Fahrenheit -- freezing is 32, for some reason, and boiling is 212??

Finally you understand that your unit system is [COLOR=A52A2A]stupid?[/COLOR]

You Maseru distance by feet, a feet of a long gone English king! That decided that HIS foot will be the standard measurement for his subjects, and you use it! Bhaaaa

I beg your pardon! Hardly!! It so happens that we like it. Whether anyone else does or not is irrelevant.

Conformity is overrated IMHO

I use both but prefer Celsius. Either way temperature is temperature regardless of how you choose to read it

So it enhances my claim! If there isn't anny different and there is no really reason, way not to use the one that have some logics behind it?

I grew up with Celsius, but have used Fahrenheit for the last 20 years. Both work.[/quote]
Also Kelvin....

Forget the F/C debate. Someone explain why sign language has different signs in different languages!

Did you know that Bluetooth headphones are awesome if you have hearing problems?
If you aren't hard of hearing, you will be quickly. The lowest volume is quite loud.

DYK you're insane?
Who exactly pays to throw themselves off bridges for fun??

no paying here, there is a road and bridge over a river, jump off the bridge into said river, probably a 12-16' drop depending on water flow

OMG I THINK THAT IS THE SHOTOVER BRIDGE IN QUEENSTOWN NEW ZEALAND

I did that jump a LONG LONG time ago when they just started doing it and before it became popular.
Biggest regret was not getting the video but back then $20 on a student budget was too much

Was I glad I did it -yup!!
Was it fun - no
Would I do it again -absolutely not!!

I still have the T-shirt and some pics somewhere.

thats awesome!!
