Ha... Three of them were required for school reading. o,o

I am one of the people who cannot do more than basic adding and subtracting in my brain.

You don't have to deal with vast amount of numbers in negative, hence making averaging easier in Fahrenheit. And it's still on topic though... We're talking about weather, no? People doesn't need to convert daily in real life between two units in either system. I don't need to know many inches or feet in 24 miles everyday or how many centimetres or metres in 24 km everyday. Mostly, we just need a number to get it (hence my cooking and wallboard examples). It's simple to remember the magic numbers to convert between two units in imperial because you don't need much units in daily life. Just several units to memorize. The only thing I will pretty much agree that metric is better suited for science. Both systems have their advantages and disadvantages, depending on a country because, imperial may be internally inconsistent, but in some cases here... it makes better sense than metric.

Unfortunely, loving a girl in that way will also have to involve loving the vaginamonster.

What makes you think you will be all alert and ready for it? Just like the moment some years ago when a goalie decided to take a walk around the post during the play and just let a puck in. Bodeur I think. Poor guy... The guys in the locker weren't so happy at him after losing the game 3-2. PS: I'm sorry for being violent, but there is no other way to do it. Good luck avoiding the injuries.

I could read a bit of Latin myself... And I didn't even learn it or study it (to me, it's a dead language). Mainly because French came from Latin. I only need it rarely for school for French linguistic since some questions ask you to use a dictionary to find the word history.

Do not make me run you over with this during a weekly snow removal machine. I could just make erm... a slip on a wheel and mow you under. *fires a hockey puck to your living room window aiming at your head*

I wear a tuque during winter because your ears freeze so fast (like in couple minutes) if it's -15C outside. And sometimes when I am running late and I don't have time to shower my bed hair. Or just because I couldn't be arsed to (most true when I am too busy and tired).

I'd like to read studies about it and maybe answer why I see gays more often in language classes, on a language forum, and in my translation courses than any of the other courses.

Adieu, my fellow GA.

To be fair, Fahrenheit is better suited for everyday weather temperature because Celsuis is less varied in this situation as the weather forcasters never use decimals to make it more precise and to get the better "feel" of how cold/warm it is. Fahrenheit more easily avoids using decimals (in real life, people tend to round/half/double/triple a lot and avoid fractions and decimals wherever they can... a common human nature). That's at least the pro of using Fahrenheit. But seriously, it's just a different way of measuring temperature. That's all. Even Celsuis is flawed as well because it's only accurate at sea level with pure water (that's how we invented the F and C scale). To me, it's just a set of numbers. I need some numbers for, like cooking, so I can know how to set my oven to make pizza or French fries. I don't care whether it's in Fahrenheit or Celsuis... just gimme the damn figure so I can eat my pizza dinner. Likewise for metric vs. imperial. If I need a new wall, I want to know how much I need... whether it's in metric or imperial so I can get my damn wall replaced. Well, in reality, most ovens in Canada uses Fahrenheit and most construction products are measured in imperial, so I need the cooking instruction in Fahrenheit on the pizza box and imperial to replace my wall. But I'm just making a point.

Even though hummus is extremely popular in Israel. My flow chart thinks I'm atheist. So true.

Steve: A cottage could suit you just fine. I don't think you need a huge deal of thing for your retirement. I'm planning to do that someday in Gasp

Eh, canoeing or kayaking don't bother me over deep waters. It's the swimming part I worry sometimes without someone next to me. It's just, I prefer company when I camp out when I could have someone who hears making sure of everything. Same with swimming. I cannot swim with my hearing aids on, or it will ruin them if I get them wet. I love the country. Period. I grew up with nature around me. Even just mostly wooded... Still. My parents have almost 3 arces of land with an acre of grass and house and the rest, all wooded with a nice creek deep in the woods. I spent a lot of my childhood exploring the wooded part and saw animals and so on. Farms do exist where I am from, but it's difficult to farm the region due to thin topsoil and mountain terrain. For sure corns, apples, beans, wheats... etc... can grow there. Prolly easier to raise cattle, horses, and sheep instead. I just got to have a piece of the countryside once every while. I grew up like that, so being in a city is not enough.

I'm changing my vote to NYC and stick to it. Nephylim... You can change yours if you wish. I do not mind. Thanks for your only support. Count me out of Las Vegas. I cannot do that for a couple reasons... 1) It's expensive. Even to fly out of Montreal Pierre-Elliot-Trudeau Airport. $750 just to fly there! In Canadian money... 2) I very rarely go west. Last time I went beyond the East Coast states/eastern provinces was to Chicago two summers ago (and before I only did that two times going to Midwest). 3) Best to keep me away from those slot machines. I'm going to want booze and ciggies. I do not want to max out my credit card. Sorry mates. Maybe next time if you guys for once pick a Northeastern city selection. I mean... Two locations in the West (California and Nevada), two in the South (Texas and Washington DC)... a location in the Northeast and Midwest would be then overdue! There are plenty of us living in the Northeast/Midwest.

I am deaf... When I camp, I don't wear the aids... so I don't hear a thing. It's too uncomfortable to sleep with them. I think it makes it more scarier than crickets because you'll never know if a raccoon is hanging around causing trouble if you don't hear a thing. God I'm never camping alone again... I actually thought some animal was sitting on my head only to find out after 10 minutes of fear and stillness that it was just the tent wall. When it's so dark, I get paranoid because you'll never know what's lurking 30 feet away from you, even with flashlights. I have the same fear swimming to the deep part of a lake... I just couldn't help wondering what could be under you 20 feet down. Heh.

Yeah, I buy some so my cat can have some fresh lunch.

When I moved to the city, I found it so difficult to sleep decently with street lights shining out of my room. Even with the curtains closed. And I still have some trouble because of that. I absolutely need pitch black when I go to bed. Just like my country hometown. There is no such thing as pure silence in the country. You still hear crickets.

Lemme see... It would easier to do it in C scale because it varies too much here. 40C/104F - Too f**king hot. Only exists as humidity index temperatures­. I hate it passionately. 30C/86F - Too f**king warm. I hate it. 20C/68F - Comfortable t-shirt/shorts weather. 10C/50F - Below 10C, hoodies come on. Still considered nice. 0C/32F - Light winter coat (not thick). A wintry heatwave if this occurs in January. Still comfortable. -10C/14F - Stuff the hoodie inside my winter coat. Put on the toque, scarf, and mitts. Nippy temperature. This is a normal average for Montreal winters. -20C/-4F - Quite cold. -30C/-22F - Bittery cold. -40C/-40F - Only exist as wind chill temperatures. f**king cold. I am known not to be bothered putting on my coat when I want to smoke on the balcony when it's -20C at night. Hell, I could even do it shirtless and in jammies. And a scale to give you an idea.

Born in a valley town, but grew up in the woods of Nuangola Station, Pennsylvania. I live in Montreal since 2005 because... Well... I just had to get out of the mindnumbing routine. I had my whole childhood there, so it's enough. Though I still always go back to the country once every while because... the city life can be a bit foreign to me. >.<

Right-handed. Index fingers shorter than the ring ones. Counterclockwise (I think). I'm the firstborn (and the only son).

Have you really tasted the mother's milk? At least to remember such taste............ o,O

I learnt a new thing today. Babies are extremely attached to a nipple... Whether that be a woman or a man... O,o

It is a common fact that gays have a huge knack for languages. I speak from personal experience.
