Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

If you order in the next 30 minutes we'll send you two, THAT'S TWO, BROKEN THERMOMETERS for the price of one!! And the first one hundred callers will receive a FREE egg timer at NO EXTRA COST!! Visa and Master-card accepted. Shipping and handling extra.. HURRY! CALL TODAY!!! LOL What if I don't want the handling, can I get shipping and fondling instead? Oh, and the egg timer doesn't have that annoying bell on it right? You'll be very pleased with our egg timer as it is also BROKEN, shipped directly to you with a nonworking bell! We find it to be a perfect companion to our Broken Thermometers!! Fondling of merchandise is available upon request, please allow 1 full shipping day extra for fondled merchandise as our experienced fondler (Heavy Hank) needs advanced notice due to high demand and low production.. So will that be one fondled order or two? ;) I would be willing to wait up to five days if you will upgrade me to Molest for no extra charge. Good NEWS! For people wanting the full out molestation we recommend taking a flight to our production plant. Molestation is included in the ticket price courtesy of TSA!

I think I'm gonna go boil some water and see what temp it boils at. This thread has just cause the global consumption of energy to double with all the people boiling water just to test the temp...good job OP, you just killed our planet a bit faster! +1, but doesn't it make you think about all the funny shit you could get people to do??? Yeah, I've already decided tomorrow we are testing the freezing point of cats, but maybe Thursday we can see if the direction of the flushing toilet has changed due to the magnetic pole changing... Awesome.. I'll start with my kitty, calculating his weight, 20lbs, plus the outside temp in NY - we all now know how cold its been here- where I parked my car, and what brand of shoes I'm wearing, I should be able to easily find kitties freezing point.. I already *know* how long it will take given my location.. a NY minute of course.... |

Follower of YHWH User ID: 1243311 United States 01/25/2011 05:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I went inside and measured for myself with a very accurate cooking thermometer. I live in Jacksonville, FL at an elevation of about 30ft with a low pressure system currently over us. The current air pressure is 29.57 inches and rising. I started seeing bubbles at 155 degrees Fahrenheit and saw actual boiling begin at 206 degrees Fahrenheit. As you can see, I did this fairly scientifically and can say that I got fairly normal readings. I have not read the entire thread, so this information may be a repeat, but just fyi, water can boil in as low a temperature as 156 degrees Fahrenheit in places above 10,000 feet in elevation. This is entirely normal. **For those interested, my avatar is the American Civil flag. It is the REAL American flag and it is the one we as civilian Americans should be flying.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1064613At sea level water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. For every 500 feet above sea level, water boils about at 0.9F less. So at 4600 feet water would boil at 203.72 degrees Fahrenheit. (212-((0.9/500)*4600) means: normal boiling point (212 degrees) subtract 0.9 degrees per 500 feet (0.9/500) multiplied by elevation (4600 feet). Read more: [link to wiki.answers.com] I just boiled water at 180 degrees Fahrenheit . . . I used water which had been purified by using reverse osmosis from my drinking water system . . . I used a Cooper Cooking thermometer which is marked from 100 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and is marked every five (5) degrees. I left the thermometer in the water until boiling was unmistakable. I live at 1156 feet above sea level. While the thermometer is not calibrated against any standard, it is interesting that what I found is at least 20 degrees under what is expected!
