And the rest of your measurements are in fahrenheit, so that number should be -459, or there abouts.

EDIT: Mentioned before, but absolute zero is 0 K, or on the celcius scale, -273.

EDIT: Proof and my arguments to his temps in that thread apply hear. Pick either Fahrenheit or Celsius and stick to it, and Absolute Zero (0K) is -273 Celsius.

As a collector of classic British cars, I'll tell you how true this statement is. Very.

I'd also like to take this oppertunity to curse Lucas Electric. Bastards.

BAH!

You haven't experienced a real winter until you've been through a Fairbanks winter!

Nothing like waking up with the temperature at -46°F with your fire getting puny! Nevermind that your A/F was tested to -40°F and it looks like a slurpy now because your wife left the coffee pot on all night and it's on the same breaker as the bedroom recep and garage (that powers your battery and crankase heaters!).

blah blah blah!

Cheers!
