No, I didn't need multiple skin grafts. Did the woman who had coffee in McDonald's need skin grafts? That's pretty serious, and I'm surprised that happened from spilling coffee. Quote: |
you are using celcius measurements - in the U.S., the farenheit system has 212 degrees boiling point
| Ah, OK, I'd forgotten about the US temperature scale being different. I have no idea what fifty US degrees are, I'm afraid! I'm used to 0=freezing, 100=boiling.
Why 212 degrees for boiling, incidentally? Anyone know? It seems a very strange "unround" number! |
