    Did you use metric tags on my quote?

    These are Canadian metres.

    Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    I thought I already said I didn't care.
    But since you guys won't let it drop, I did a bit of Google research.

    Lynx is correct, there is a difference between European ( from hereon called "Imperial") meters and Canadian "metres".

    This is an Imperial meter.

    Which means that a Canadian metre = approx. 24 feet.

    This may change as global warming accelerates.

    Arrrh clocker... You just don't know snow.

    And it wasn't a "whale blubber fire"... It was a fuel oil accumulation fire.

    Got me there, eh?
    You're right...I don't "know" snow.
    I do know oxygen deprivation...here in Mile-High Denver we depend on bottled air to survive.
    My favorite is the Evian with a hint of raspberry.

    *sigh*
    I just know you're dying for me to ask.....
    WTF is a "fuel oil accumulation fire"?

    We use nothing but clean, safe and efficient nuclear power down here.
    I vaguely remember fossil fuels, but it's been so long...
    I definitely remember reading that at last year's US/Canadian Trade Negotiations we offered to sell you the technology for "electricity", but all you would offer in return was a blueprint for a "Caribou Powered Personal Transportation Device".
    This turned out to be a (crudely) modified Amish carriage pulled by some sort of prehistoric antlered creature.
    Which, as it happens, we can import from China at half the proposed Canadian price.

    Globalization is a bitch.

    Saturday this giving umconfortable conditions during this period,
    people experiencing chronic diseases (cardiovascular,
    cerebrovascular, respiratory, renal) could see their condition
    worsen. Moreover, any extended exposure to these conditions could
    cause discomfort, including cramps, fatigue and heat strokes.
    Oh you slippery, sneaky Canadians!
    Note that this "weather report" fails to provide any actual temperatures at all.
    Further research through a less deceptive source ( Fox News!) reveals that this "warm and very humid" airmass will send your temps skyrocketing all the way up to 13C.

    How do you folks survive vacations to Jamaica?
