don't feel bad... Celsius does mine in! It really isn't nice linier equation.

what you may want to do is create a conversion chart and leave it in the car...

I just wish we would go ahead and switch already, this way I would only need one set of tools.
I think we’re the only country not using the Metric system.

In fact Fahrenheit is stupid metric crap also, 0 deg F was the lowest temp you could get water to without freezing, by adding salt. 100 deg F was blood temp.


now compare that with 0 & 100 deg c freezing/boiling point of water and which is the more stupid metric crap?
