Not only your skin. It's our BRAINS that are calibrated. Not even mighty 
Union Councils can change that. They will have to brainwrinkle next 
generation. An example: why do I have to relate the summer breeze to the 
absolute minus (K) when it's so natural to relate to water (C or F). 
Furthermore, I believe that we will see still another way of deciding 
temperature in the future. There are no perfect or eternal ways, everything 
is 'relative' as said a wise guy.

Inge,

Wow!  Never would have guessed it!  Now THAT [lumber dimensions] is really
screwed up!

I believe that we humans possess an innate desire to be non-conformists.  We
may run with the pack to an extent, but we still seek to be 'different'.
Maybe that is also some of the issue at hand.

I know for myself, when flying on a cold Winter's day, there is no amount of
°C to make the windchill from a 30 mph  :-) wind blowing in my face feel as
cold as a good old fashioned °F!!   [It is illogical, even though the
magnitude of the °C temp is greater until you get down to -40].

I think that it is because one is Fricking cold, whereas the other is just
Chilly cold.

The skin is still calibrated in °F!!  what's left, anyway...

I am a little crazy, I admit it!

Steve
