 Actually, temperature is one of the simplest for me to "guesstimate". I
 just remember that I am "comfortable" at 20 degrees Celsius and 0 degress
 is cold. Thirty-three degrees Celsius would be unbearable!

 Well, in a way he's right. As long as he wants to be "out-of-step" with most
 of the rest of the world. (I wonder what he does in foreign countries. Buy
 an American newspaper so he can tell what the temperature is at his 
ocation?
 Pay for the newspaper only in dollars?)
