    Since it’s in hell, that’s probably a fake thermostat anyway…

    It’s frigid outside, but when you really come to think about it…

    60 above zero: Floridians turn on the heat. People in Minnesota plant gardens. 50 above zero: Californians shiver uncontrollably. People in Duluth sunbathe. 40 above zero: Italian & English cars won’t start. People in Minnesota drive with the windows down. 32 above zero: Distilled water freezes. The water in Bemidji gets thicker. 20 above zero: Floridians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves, wool hats. People in Minnesota throw on a flannel shirt. 15 above zero: New York landlords finally turn up the heat. People in Minnesota have the last cookout before it gets cold. Zero: People in Miami all die. Minnesotans close the windows. 10 below zero: Californians fly away to Mexico People in Minnesota get out their winter coats. 25 below zero: Hollywood disintegrates. The Girl Scouts in Minnesota are selling cookies door to door. 40 below zero: Washington DC runs out of hot air. People in Minnesota let the dogs sleep indoors. 100 below zero: Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. Minnesotans get upset because they can’t start the > Mini-Van. 460 below zero: ALL atomic motion stops (absolute zero > on the Kelvin scale.) People in Minnesota start > saying…”Cold ‘nuff fer ya?” 500 below zero: Hell freezes over. Minnesota public schools will open 2 hours late.

    We minnesotans be a hardy breed.

    Maybe it’s “hell-vin”, or “hell-sius”, or even “hell-enheit.”

    Penguin 1021, I loved that, Thanks. It brought back “fond” memories of growing up in northern Wisconsin. to me the only thing that I thought was cold, was swimming in Lake Superior!

    The robes are made of asbestos to keep the demons from getting burned by the flames.
