Since we have neighbors well to the North on this list, so far North we don't even call them Yankees when they visit Natchitoches, I thought I'd share. BTW, if you want to get a temperature conversion, put this formula into Google: (number) f = ? C or (number) C = ? F + 15 C = Vancouverites try to turn on the heat. Winnipeggers plant gardens. +10 C = Victorians shiver uncontrollably. Edmontonians sunbathe. +5 C = Italian cars won't start. People in Regina drive with the windows down. 0 C = Distilled water freezes. Winnipeg's water gets thicker. -5 C = Torontonians wear coats, gloves and wool hats. Calgarians throw on a t-shirt. -15 C = Quebecers begin to evacuate the province. People in Saskatchewan go swimming. -20 C = Toronto landlords finally turn up the heat. Winnipeggers have the last cookout before it gets cold. -25 C = People in Vancouver cease to exist. Edmontonians lick flag poles. -30 C = Calgarians fly away to Mexico. Winnipeggers throw on a light jacket. -40 C = Hamilton disintegrates. People in Saskatoon rent some videos. -50 C = Mt. St. Helen's freezes. Winnipeg Girl Scouts begin selling cookies door-to-door. -60 C = Polar bears begin to evacuate the Arctic. Manitoban Boy Scouts postpone "Winter Survival" classes until it gets cold enough. -80 C = Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. Winnipeggers pull down their ear flaps. -200 C = Microbic life survives on dairy products. Manitoba cows complain of farmers with cold hands. -273.15 C = ALL atomic motion stops. Winnipeggers start saying "Cold 'nuff for ya?" -400 C = Hell freezes over. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers win the Grey Cup. (It's been a long time since this CFL trophy was won here!) - -- Regards, Sonny mailto:sonc@sonc.com http://www.sonc.com Natchitoches, LA USA - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
