Subj : To good not to share To : Bj”rn Felten From : Lee Lofaso Date : Tue Aug 22 2023 02:46:36 Hello Bj”rn, GD>> Idiot! GD>> The boiling point of water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit BF> You are actually amongst the less than 4% of the Earth's population, that BF> are idiots. BF> How ironic, that you still stubbornly, as the only country in the world, BF> hang on to the measuring system, that the Empire, that you revolted against BF> some 250 years ago, gave you. But no longer use. Not even Canada... That is not entirely true. Liberia, and Myanmar (Burma), continue to officially use the imperial system of measurement. So let's not be too hard on the rest of the world for not holding on to tradition. However, do keep in mind the US Congress declared the metric system be the preferred system of weights and measures for trade and commerce in 1988 with the Omnibus Trade and Competiveness Act amendment to the Metric Conversion Act of 1975. But you know how it is. Time and money got in the way, and progress got put on hold ... As for Fahrenheit, that is an entirely different matter. The only countries that officially use Fahrenheit as a unit for measuring temperature is the USA, Liberia, and the Cayman Islands. See how that works? Other parts of the world use both, though Celsius is the standard. Do you think, even for a moment, that Clark Kent and Lois Lane would do anything to betray their love for America the Beautiful? It was not for the love of this planet, or for all its inhabitants. After all, the alien did have enemies. And he fought them, long and hard. But having a conscience, the alien never kills. So what is his stated reason for being? What is his mission? If it was not sent here to keep this planet from being destroyed, then why was it sent here? Why not someplace else? We are told, before every episode, those reasons - Superman fought for three things - * Justice * Truth * The American Way No other reason has ever been cited. The other thing your mother forgot to teach you - Superman had what appears to be an S on his suit. And those on Earth presumed it stood for Superman. But you know how it is. Put on that suit and stand before a mirror. The S inverts itself into a Z. That is how we know his real name is Zod.
