A few years ago, during a July evening, I was on the Deutsche Bahn
somewhere between Heidelburg and Berlin.  I checked the tempeature on the
thermometer in the car. It said 38 degrees but my watch said 2100 hours.

I "knew" the thermometer must be wrong to read that hot so late at night,
so I went to the next car to see the correct temperature on the thermometer
there.  It read EXACTLY THE SAME temperature.

I went back to the first car and tried not to think of what the temperature
might be at noon the next day
