Johnny's going to be working at a nuclear power plant!

Celcius doesn't even begin to make sense. If you're going to get all "metric" and "scientific" use kelvins. But leave us nonmetric people out of this. You'll never get us to stop using Fahrenheit!

I live near the coast. Does that count?

yes but after some thinking Wildberry doesn't count. I mean the baltic is barely a sea. The coastline barely a coast. I mean if a big wave hits Zealand then the baltic is a salt lake.

Yeah but we have the British Isles to protect us.

Water freezes at 0 (instead of 32) and boils at 100 (instead of 212). What's not to get?

Now here's a good map to show scientific advancement

I don't care if it's a proper sea (which it isn't; as estuary it's pretty different from oceans proper), but the climate sure is coast stuff. Back at the parents' it's over 20 degrees centigrade colder and the snow is in piles.

All I'm getting is sodding water. This is BS. ***** stole my winter.

What's with the n/a-countries? Nobody went there and asked them? It isn't that hard to get into Egypt.

People are afraid the metric system won't explain how the pyramids were built. So they don't ask.

The Celsius calibration points actually mean something, and it's handily in scale with Kelvin.

You guys are so lazy... but the worst is NTSC, why the hell are you still using that ****?

 

[AeroJonesy]

Fahrenheit is handily in scale with Rankine...

The Yanks are in fine company there... Liberia and Burma.

The NA in this case would be "Not Available", rather than "Not Applicable", referring to the date of conversion. New Caledonia, the large island to the North East of Australia, grey on this map, has been a French territory since 1853. Considering France was the first country to make the conversion, it would be safe to assume that it has been official in New Caledonia for a long time.

Who the hell cares?
