Hm. I've seen that Tempeture list somewhere...
Here's the version I have on my computer. Not that it's relevant but y'know. I have no life... etc.
Canadian Temp Vocabulary:
Chilly: Below Zero with Blowing wind and sleet
Nippy: Well below zero with gale-force winds, ten-foot high snowbanks and roaming polar bears
Cold: Minus 40 with a wind-chill factor of at least 100 below
Really Cold: Exposed flesh freezes in ten minutes
Very Cold: Exposed flesh freezes in five minutes
Damn Cold: Two minutes
Really very damn Cold: One minute
Freezing: Who needs all ten fingers anyways?
Too cold to go to the mall: Theoretical tempeture used only in scientific hypotheses (like the infinity symbol, only more abstract)
Note: None of this applies to people living in Victoria, the jerks.

CSI Level One
LOL!!!! Oh man those are funny. I've seen the first temp guide before, but I think it's one of those things where you can read it over and over and it'll still be hilarious. Loved the 'none of this applies to people living in Victoria' part on the second one, too.
I also liked "People in Greece die from the cold and disappear from the face of the earth. The Finns start drying their laundry indoors." in your version Ducky. It's funny cuz it's true... there's nothing better than frozen stiff pants in the morning. :lol:

:lol: That one is my favourite. Nothing reminds me more of winter then having some kids tongue stuck to the flagpole :lol:.
Ducky, the part on your list about Greeks dying out made me laugh so frigging hard 'cause it's pretty much true. See, we're all alike :lol:.
Oh frozen pants... but it's quite annoying to try to get really big bedsheet off the laundry...line?string? when it's frozen
And I like our version because it includes most of Europe But yeah, those freezing parts are probably true :lol:
Besides, Canadian version sucks because it lies. Santa lives in Finland and not in North Pole
A year ago I saw a group of happy French because they came here in Feb and they could walk on a frozen lake and they were just excited because they had never done that/seen it. They took pics so they can prove they stand "on lake" Or when it's -10c and they whine it's cold and we just look at them like "eh? No it's not. -30 is bit cold"

*People in Miami all die........
*Canadians lick the flagpole.
That one is actually my favorite one too. I can just imagine all the people in Miami dying and we're sitting there licking flagpoles :lol: OH NO SAVE HORATIO! :lol:
Hey Ducky, that only applies if you BELIEVE in Santa.

....You know.. when I was down in Tacoma, I was approached by an American and they said; "You're a Canadian righ'?"
"Yep."
"Tell me, how often do you see polar bears?"
"Oh, very often. We even have polar bear crossing signs, and we're home to the great pacific long neck penguins. They fly don't cha know."
"Really?! That's too cool! I'm from Nevada and I've never been to Canada and I was thinking of going there this summer. What are my odds of seeing them?"
"Depends how far north you go."
Announcement for Diving seminar
"Now excuse me, this Canadian needs to attend that seminar." I walk away quickly, trying not to burst at the seams.
Now, I feel horrible for doing that, but I could NOT resist. Then I find out the guy was from Vegas.. xD
