Humor From The GWN

Rob Cigan sent me this "Official Canadian Temperature Conversion" chart, which is reproduced here for your pleasure. Oh, by the way, remember when I said the wreck to driver ration would be roughly 1-1 in Austin on Friday? 300 wrecks.

Official Canadian Temperature Conversion Chart
50 F/10 C Californians shiver uncontrollably; Canadians plant gardens
35 F/2 C  Italian cars will not start; Canadians drive with windows down
32 F/0 C  American water freezes; Canadian water melts
0 F/ -18 C New York City landlords finally turn on the heat; Canadians have the last cookout
-60 F/-51 C Santa Claus abandons the North Pole; Canadian Girl Guides sell cookies door to door

-173 F/-114 C Ethyl alcohol freezes; Canadians get frustrated when they cannot thaw the keg
-459.67 F/-273 C absolute zero; all atomic motion stops; Canadians say “cold enough for ya, eh?”
