Joe Oh me, 27F, poor you, I woke up to -4F, and that's warm up here lately! Why can't you guys get with the program and use Celsius like the rest of the civilized world? Cheers Marty |

Cheers Marty It's a problem...Mr Sails posed some distance/time/rate problems to his junior/senior Oceanography classes in meters and kn and they were all totally lost...didn't even have the sense to just go to the conversion tables in the back of the book! |

How can you teach science and not use SI units? A real fine group of budding scientists Mr. Sails has there! As an excercise in frustration everyone should be forced to do a few basic physics problems using pounds, slugs, poundals, pound-feet. ..etc. Cheers Marty |

And plus 35 sounds more bearable than 95. Cheers Marty |

My God...we thought this was about water! When some of them found out it was about combined geology, earth scince and ecology, tehy went ballistic...thought they were going to go visit dolphins at the Aquarium and collect seashells.... |

oups.com... It's brutal..27 degrees this AM. The birdbath is frozen! Record broken..... coldest day in Houston since the 20's WTF happened to global warming?. It will be in the 60's tomorrow. Joe Sorry to disappoint you Joe, but it's the variability of the climate that's the problem. GW = higher highs, lower lows. A couple of degrees warmer isn't the problem directly. It's an indirect effect. Hold onto your socks, things will be getting worse before they get better, assuming we do something now. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Definitely shows how abusing illegal drugs has consequences. Cheers, Ellen |
