[random thought]Why do we call them thermometers? They don't show therms.[/random thought]

This is sorted round my way. I have corrupted people to appreciate Fahrenheit. There's more divisions in the important bits related to sweating and getting into water.
No need for a decimal point with Fahrenheits.
The quest to corrupt people goes on. With a digital thermometer you only have to flip the switch to enter the dark side.
Edit for reflection on the thermometer bit, everyone just looks at the F or C, the thermo part fell into the ditch a long time ago.

Unwittingly committed genocide against a metropolis of firebugs today. 112kw propane torch is indiscriminate, always check the weedy area before moving in with the all cleansing flame.

I don't know how far an odo is - maybe the Delta Quadrant.

In that case, you need a bucket to measure an odo.

I thought the odo had become extinct ? 🤔

Awake early. Had breakfast and cup of green tea. Time for another cup. Today is vaccine day 😁

Morning.
It's gone grey! . It was nice and sunny earlier .
On the Beeb they said that there is a punter who stands to win £500,000 today if he lets his bet continue, he could cash it in for £250,000 at present , all for a £5 bet over a year ago . I would cash it in now . Just think how many bikes you could buy ?

So if he lets it continue and it doesn’t come off does he lose the lot? I think I’d be cashing in!

I hope he didn’t bet on today being sunny...

Naga Munchety ? Said that all he would lose would be £5 . Perhaps so , but seeing a potential of £250,000 in the hand would be very tempting !

A guy had a similar bet on Leicester winning the League the year they did, I think it was £50 at 4,000-1

Have you ever had a kitten helping you when you have tried to cut your toenails ?

It's like having an extra pair of uncontrollable hands !
