Asshole (that's MadAgain) doesn't get that degrees is not the same as, let's say cows. If my scale states that 0°R (that's zero degrees Ricardo) is equivalent to 55°F and that 1°R = 1°F, then the average temp in Ricardos would be 2°R, and those 1.12°R above the average would mean "a whole" 56% over the average. It's soooo easy for idiots like Mikey here to get percentages all wrong. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
