Your welcome to it, you just need to shovel a path to it and clean the snow off the seat beforehand.
Hmmm, I just had a great idea. Now that we have so much snow I can build a outhouse out of snow to protect myself from the elements. _________________

Canada, and mose European countries use the metric system, like millimeter, centimeter, kilometer. They also use the Celsius temperature scale. JD said the wind chill would be -40, which comes out to be 7 degrees farenheit. As for the word 'metre', that's meter, the spelling on certian things is also different. Another example: they spell it licence, we spell it license. _________________

Actually -40 Celcius is the same as -40 Farenheit (or however it is spelt)
With Celcius water freezes at 0 and water boils at 100, its better than 32F and 212F, somewhat more logical.

Of course, it's like that every morning...for 5 months of the year.... _________________

On the front page of the Montreal Gazette on tuesday morning it said Today's Forecast: COLDER THAN HELL!
And let me tell you. It really was.
It was -50 on the island of montreal, and went down to about -70 to - 80 in some of the outlying areas of Quebec.
of course now the temps went back up to a normal -30 (thank god)
[edit] by the way Metric pwns Imperial. 12 inches per foot? ~3000 feet per mile? What the hell is that?? 100 centimetres per metre, 1000 metres per kilometre. That's the way to go [end edit] |
