[USMA:28862] Re: A good outdoor thermometer?

[Chimpsarecute]

Its design and functionality has now been recognised. In Denmark it was awarded the prestigious �Formland Prize 1999� and in Frankfurt it received the �Form�99� prize. Made of shock-resistant synthetic material, with a black border, it weighs 40g (1�'') and is 8mm (�'') thick. To clean the window, simply remove the thermometer and then stick it back on the glass. 2 year guarantee. (Celsius only).     Do you see the 2 conversion errors above?
