Funny Answer.....

Is that 0 degrees Farenheit or Centigrade? Why is it correct to pluralize "zero" in this case?

It will be -1 degrees i think because if it's 1 degrees and it is twice as cold tomorow it will be 0 degrees right ? And -1 degrees is 1 before 0 degrees and 0 degrees is one 0 degrees is one before 1 degrees.
Do you know the answer yyiiyyii?

If .........this is Tuesday......Then.....

Zero times zero is zero. Zero plus zero is zero, in decimal math. even in binary math.

We can only hope that M$ will come up with a hot patch to fix it. Me, I'll be holding my breath every Tuesday until they do! .....NOT......!

Trivia: Books have been written about the number zero. I'm trying to remember the names, but I'm coming up with nothing.., nada..., zip...., love....,zilch!

Sounds like a statement some weather man made. Probably about how well he predicts the weather also.

You can't get 'twice as cold' anyway. There is only heat and absense of heat, you don't double the coldness, but you can half the heat energy. So in that case it would be 127.69K if your original scale was fahrenheit, 136.58K if the original scale was celcius. Neither of which are even naturally obtainable temperatures on Earth.

If your original scale was K then its impossible.

0c is damn cold - double that and you get damn damn cold. Easy peasy.
Next question?

I think "Calvin" is that designer guy who's trying to get his name on everybody's underwear. Anyway, he makes jeans as well. Brooke Shields used to say, (in his commercials for those jeans), "nothing comes between me and my Calvins". So, at the time apparently, she wasn't wearing the Calvin guys underwear also. Now here's my question, if Brooke didn't have any panties on, does that make her twice as cold, or you twice as hot?

You could always ask her if she would mind you inserting a thermometer into her jeans to find out? But then you would have to explain why, so maybe not.....

Do you you think that the army's "don't ask, don't tell" policy could be adapted to this situation?

Don't bring up the "Mice" - "Mouse" debate, or is that mouses or mices?

Anyway I asked my 10yo Son and he said it's still zero. So that's that.
Mind you this is all on the assumption that 1 exists (the basis of all maths)

No. Look at my original response, that should tell you that it doesn't matter what your starting temp is called.

Yes but then you have to divide by the pi root

0 °C is 273.15K, half of which is 136.58, which is -136.58 °C.
If is feels twice as cold, it will be twice as far below the normal temperature of the surface of your skin as it is at freezing, which varies from person to person but averages around -20°C.
