Hey! Bob! Titan has weather! The local weatherman said he would look for a job there if the weather here didn't agree with him, but I'm ready to email him and tell him you have it under control!

I don't like the idea of methane rain! Methrain?

"Hey! Bob! Titan has weather!"

Well, sure. I'll bet they give the temperature in degrees Absolute, as well. One good thing about that; the temperature never goes below Zero!

Jupiter has weather also. "Your weather news tonight, my jovial Jovians, is that Hurricane Adam is still circling around the planet, as it has for at least three hundred years. In other news, the recent asteroid attacks which caused Earth-size blemishes in our lovely striated atmosphere have been determined to be NOT due to the influence of that tiny planet. It has therefore been determined that Earth is still just as insignificant as ever. Good Night, and see you again in eleven hours."

"In Kelvin?"

Kelvin or Absolute. Either one.

Kelvin uses centigrade size degrees, and Absolute uses Fahrenheit-size degrees.

Absolute zero in either one is the starting point, and there are no negative temperatures.

"Harness the natural gas on Titan!!!"

Harness the natural gas from Democrats.

Congrats on 9876.

Absolute zero is the ultimate "Evil Zero."

Absolute uses Fahrenheit-size degrees.

I thought that was Rankine.

You are correct. Mea culpa.

absolute scale noun
1. A scale of temperature with absolute zero as the minimum.
2. The Kelvin scale.

Kelvin scale noun
An absolute scale of temperature in which each degree equals one kelvin. Water freezes at 273.15 K and boils at 373.15 K.

Rankine scale (ràng´kîn) noun
A scale of absolute temperature using Fahrenheit degrees, in which the freezing point of water is 491.69° and the boiling point of water is 671.69°.
[After William John Macquorn Rankine (1820-1872), Scottish engineer and physicist.]

Hi Doctor Miss Tulip!

We're talking about really cool things, and about life on this and other planets, and effective ways to end it.

Hello, Prof-ette Dr. Tuliptree!

And sadly, bye. I have to go away for a few hours. Maybe back 8:30 - 9 PST. So that gives y'all a few hours for the last push to 10000.
