There is NO Global Warming! We are headed for another Ice Age!!!! :D

I started the car this morning and the temp display read "-895 ºF"
I thought this was so hilarious I had to share. :)
Actual temp was 40º F this morning.

And these are actual picts...no photoshop'n going on here, I promise!

Hey!!! I finally have permission to post Picts :redspot

0 kelvin... damn... :) ... trying to remember what it was from when I learned it in high school 11 years ago... I was way off... where in the hell did I get 270 from? is there any significance to that # in regards to temp?

edit: nevermind... it was the -273 that was sticking in my brain.

High school 11 years ago? .......Damn youngins, I wish I was that close to high school...I still have the slide rule I used to calculate absolute zero. :smoke3

lol and people say Canada is cold. How do you get the temp to read on the cluster?

Push in the signal lever. It will step through a whole bunch of stuff, unless half your dash bulbs are burnt out like mine.....

Or if something is wrong on the car it wont let you go off of the problem ie low windshield washer fluid, low beam ect ect

Wow!!!

At that temperature, wouldn't the air in your tires turn solid?

not to mention what would happen to a person :)

Space is approx 2.75--degrees Kelvin, and we'd last about 7 minutes without any space suit.

But now I'm confused. If this is below 0.K: how do we calculate the negative kelvin? Is there a formula that I'm too lazy to search for?

hmmm, if you were in the vicinity of Hell Michigan (yes it exists), then this might be prove that hell has frozen over! Which coincides nicely with my old roommate getting married this weekend... :stickoutt

There is no negative kelvin temperature. 0K is absolute zero, all particles stop moving, including your M5 :)

Thats what I thought. So -800F is impossible.
