that isn't what we learned in grade school about metric.

best is a buch of quotes from kevin phillips book 'american theocracy'. i hit the sweet part that is all related to what happened in the waning day of the chimperor. i HIGHLY recommend the book. CASH! USE CASH!

One rough rule of thumb for temperature conversion between C and F is to double the C temp and add about thirty degrees. Accuracy suffers as you go toward extremes on either side of the scale, but for room or outdoor temps it's moderately accurate and can be done somewhat quickly in your head--e.g., 20C is about 68F--using the rule of thumb above you get 70F.

have a handy dandy thermometer that has both.

oh, i just posted a funny ebay listing. 341 was getting silly again.
