HAHAHAHA, PA, LOVED your responses, specially to the Kelvin scale answer. I was thinking the same thing and going "duh". I'm a dork.

Re: FUNNY (AND TRUE) THINGS TO THINK ABOUT…

OMG, hahahaha. I was actually thinking of doing something similar when going thru the list and then saw ur response. Good one.

Re: FUNNY (AND TRUE) THINGS TO THINK ABOUT...

Re: FUNNY (AND TRUE) THINGS TO THINK ABOUT...
