I know it's an easy equation, but I forgot. :9

Thanks...I never knew -40 degrees Farenheit was the same as -40 degrees Celsius.

Or, if you're going to use Google, you might as well get it to do the calculation for you:

Oh, right. =) Still, it's a useful feature to know about.
Personally I think everyone should use Celsius, it's a much more practical scale... but the U.S. never listens to me. ;-P |

Yeah, I've been trying to too. :( It's hard too.
Go us! |
I believe the equations were:
F = (9/5)C + 32 C = (5/9)F - 32 F = Farenheit C = Celcius |

Using Celsius is easier, it's less numbers before you die.

Not to mention, wth is up with them saying a thousand million is a billion. It's like saying a million is the same as ten thousand. It should clearly be a billion is a million million, it's just a way for them to claim "Yeah we have more billionares than you" >_>

I see your point, but it's easier to add 3 naughts to the end of something (and easier to read) - 1000000 to 1000000000, than six naughts - 1000000 to 1000000000000.
Besides, 100 100s isn't 1000000 is it? |

As far as I know, one thousand million IS a billion. 1,000 x 1,000,000 = 1,000,000,000. Hrm... maybe I'm just misunderstanding your comment.
[edit] Ah, now I understand what you're saying. Looked up the definition of "billion" just to check. Seems you guys take a meaning closer to it's root, with the bi- portion doubling the million. So is a trillion 10^18 for you guys? |

I'll have you know that most of my family herritage is French :P
By the way, lovely joke. :D |

I like Fahrenheit because, well, the lower degrees are code. I mean, WTF, -2 Celsius is sort of warm? I know Celsius is easily measured...but, I dunno'.

-2 Celsius is below freezing...
|
In response to Igmolicious
|
|
Yeah.
0 C, water freezes. 100 C, water boils. IT'S THAT EASY! (and it's that reason why I stick with it, never mind living in a country with that system...) |
