The cake is a lie

Oh fancy schmancy!!!

The part about it being "absolute" is true though. But the size of the degree (or Kelvin) is the same as Celsius -- it's still 100 from freezing to boiling.

"Degree" just means "increment". Semantics is so silly.

Yes, "a fire pit heated to 4000 degrees kelvin" should not use the word 'degrees', but you might refer to some amount of change in or comparison of temperature as degrees, even in Kelvin. Not that it matters too much around here...

Besides, wikipedia is hardly where I'd go for any more detailed information then how to screw in a lightbulb.

I've had professors who advised using Wikipedia as a first stop when it came to research papers. Needless to say, those weren't the hardest classes to get a decent grade in.

TIL that Kelvin doesn't use "degrees." Yay for the Internet!

Also, all I know about "portal" is that it's an academic journal (and yes, the word is not capitalized).

For the record (not that it matters now), I've learned from numerous books that it's "Kelvin" and there's no degree anywhere there.

Also, I hope there's cake in Portal 2 Tongue
