Good thing my car has air conditioning

Yesterday as I was driving home I passed a recently-built office building that has a big electronic sign out front. It said the temperature was 455°F.

As many of you know, that’s higher than the temperature at which paper burns.

I’m just glad it wasn’t 455° Celsius, because that would really have been too hot.

    Global warming at work, but it appears you encountered the highly localized kind of global warming.

    Imposter! You are not Michael. My brother Michael is Michael.

    Hmm. That’s one of the problems with Movable Type comments: you can put any name into the name field when posting.
