Wait isn't -30c the same as -30f? Or is that at -40? I forget.

So will Thief die to Tiamat, or will it be Fighter? place your bets.

It's celcius. The U.S is the only place in the world with wacky rules such as Degrees F and Inches, etc.

Kelvin is the best system. Why use a system which would require a computer to have 1 as its first binary digit for a given temperature value and over complicate maths in base 2?

Because, we're just that great.

Actually, yes, -40° celsius and -40° fahrenheit are the same temperature, namely, 233.15 kelvin. Personally, I agree with the sentiment that kelvin rules, celsius drools. Maybe if celsius was less like a dissertation on hyperdimensional physics and more like a temperature scale, it wouldn't have swallowed the metric system into the singularity of its madness.

And, of course, fahrenheit is innately infallible because America pwns logic.

Infallible? Not bad for a scale based on calculations, literally, from someone's armpit.

Indeed. The armpit of justice.

Back on topic, I've just noticed that I don't think we've seen the Dark Warriors in quite a while, or at least since their [cough] class change. Was that just a one-off joke, or can playing dress-up really grant one the power of an enlightened warrior? And have the Other Warriors managed to procure their own rat tail as of yet? They have had a few hundred episodes in which to cross the Endless Sea of Eternal Nightmare and reach Rat Tail Island, after all.

What do humans have?
Airships/Death-Traps
Stevebots
Sword-chucks
Lightbulbs
Lighters
Customizable Chocobos

All of which took a tenth of the time that the Elves had.



Well, don't forget that Red Mage and Gighter had a hand with the Customizable Chocobos and the Sword-chucks and they are both fractactical geniuses. And King Steve is the world's greatest criminal mastermind.

Methinks you need a bit more sleep, Awake.:)

Meh, a slip of the finger. No big there, and "fractactical" is a reference to the comic itself, so it is perfectly reasonable. Furthermore, I have to applaude Awake for probably being the first person in a very long while to use the correct spelling of "genius" here on the forums.

Though "genious" is itself in reference to the comic.

Yeah, you know who needs more sleep? Me. Now knock of that racket you damn whippersnappers with your devil rap music and your internets....
