Quote:I hear the high today in Minneapolis is 1. That's right ONE. Fahrenheit. I hope my folks don't freeze solid.
Anyone remember the line from Trains, Planes and Automobiles? "What do you think the temperature is". "One". While they were riding in the back of a pickup truck.
Stupid cold will be here tonight. I hate winter.
Here's my good opportunity to rant about how Fahrenheit bases it's absolute 0 point not at 0. It makes no sense - the lack of temperature entirely should be expressed as 0 and not a negative number. It makes me LOL at how such situations can happen in real life because we've all gotten used to such a system - at least Celcius bases it's 0 point at something that makes much more sense.
