Cheaper to keep her... 24 years married, why bother divorcing at this point. might as well keep the old bag around... too many years invested into my retirement to give her half... i can see the replies from the ladies coming now... hahaha let me have it ladies!

Let me get this straight, freezing point in Farenheit is 32? how did they come up with that. O degrees Celcius is freezing pretty easy to figure that out. I suppose its what ever your used to. I think US is one of the only countries in the world to use this old system
Asking for trouble here, be nice but bring it on. Makes for a good debate.

Well its really quite simple.
They froze some water and measured it , it was 32,
Thats how we know the metric system is wrong, water freezes at 32 not 0.

Weak argument, 32 according to a thermometer that has no reference point like O for freezing

So if they calibrated the thermometer differently you guys would be saying 67 degrees is freezing, that's what the thermometer says.

No your not listening. water freezes at 32, so they cant calibrate them differently

Thats how the whole metric thing got started.

The Metricson thermometer company hired a new guy and put him charge of painting the numbers on the thermometers.
After about a month they realized all the thermometers were wrong and they had about 20 million dollars worth of bad thermometers.
Thats when Bob Metricson came with the idea invent the metric system and calibrate it to all the bad thermometers and sell them to the french

Really though Brine freezes a 0 Fahrenheit, ( dont ask me why we care what temp brine freezes at)
