hcsvader 1 #1 December 14, 2009 Was edmonton last night, -46.1c Fuck Winter! http://www.edmontonsun.com/news/edmonton/2009/12/13/12141366.html I got up at 5 am to go to work.

I keep forgeting if it's muliply by 9/5s (or is it 5/9s) and add (or is it subtract) 32. Junior high physical science was really a LONG time ago.
