yes, celcius. the measuring system that is embraced by every country in the world except for America and Alaska.

as a veteran of the post Emu war skirmishes I can honestly say it can be a touchy subject. Many Men, Women and Emu lives were lost in the pursuit and results for peace. The horrors of the war are matched only by the death count.

Uh, I thought Alaska was part of America, did Russia take it back when I wasn't paying attention?

Trump gifted it.

Thanks Obama.

Dont think he cares, at this point!

I meant for not going for a 3rd term, technically that's against the rules but in the event of 2 candidates that unbearably suck the sitting President should just carry on.

If he'd had the good sense to start a war, he couldve secured that 3rd term.
I dont think anyone would have really minded.

didn't know Alaska was part of America, had a inkling but never really more than that.

Alaskans and Hawaiians a lot of times like to think they ARENT part of the continental US. Hence their referring to it as 'the lower 48' and 'the mainland', respectively. 😛

Don't feel too bad for a long time I thought New Zealand was part of Australia.

Where's Zealand?

Not joking.
Like New York is named after the English city. New Amsterdam for Amsterdam.
Is New Zealand named for some place?

And now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
