Its really sucking.

Now I can understand why some of you US guys need 2 showers a day.
When the temp is low, there's no sweat, but even 80+ means you need at least 2 showers a day.

Well...Chicago had 3 days of near-100 and ~700 people died.

Just depends on if you're prepared (are homes air-conditioned, etc.)

That is just about the lamest fscking thing I've ever read. "Oooohh....screw the french! I'm glad they're dying! Yaaay!"

You realize that most of those dead are probably older folks with no A/C and no means to have A/C installed. So basically, you're happy that some poor elderly shut-in died like a dog of heat stroke.

F*cking asshole. :|
