They're not the same below zero, but they meet (manifest with the same number) at -40. The wind chill is only -31 now. Actual temp is -20. (-4 F)
Your temperature is 8 F (not -8F) You are near Kansas city, right? (8 F is -13 C and 259 K) JimKandJulieB@xxxxxxx wrote:
Calling all scientists who speak plain English....Reading Ursula's post, I was curious to know what -39 C was in Fahrenheit. I went to my standard little conversion page and it told me that -39 C is -38 F. Knowing that couldn't possibly be correct, I used another converter, and then looked at a few different temperature scales. All of them indicated that below 0 C, the temp designations for C & F are nearly identical. So, I thought to meself, I thought, I will go learn about this odd phenomenon. Googled. Wikid (is that a verb yet? it surely will be). Read pages about the history of and the math of C & F. Nowhere was I able to discern why the two temps are different above zero Centigrade but not below. Anyone?! Julie Krueger at -8 F here. I still don't know what that means, though....========Original Message======== Subj: *[lit-ideas] Re: Ernst Zuendel sentenced* Date: 2/15/2007 8:05:43 A.M.

Why should it be a crime to say that the holocaust did not happen? Why not just ignore it? Why not just ridicule it? How is a law against holocaust denial any different than a law againstdenying Mohammed? What would we say if Muslim countries had laws against crusade denial? Unless someone is also inciting to crime, which I don't think was proved in Zuendel's Canadian case (but going by memory here), I don't see thatthe denial itself should be a criminal matter at all.
