Some of you have never seen a blue moon on a saddlehorse. Hell, I bet you've never ridden off the doorhandle Texas hold 'em style.

Poll added. jazz_fanatic, your real age would be appreciated.

Haha I intentionally chose not to disclose my age, due to the fact that I'm guaranteed one of the youngest posters here.
Meh, to hell with my internet rep. I am 17 years old.

You should be pushing for "Nite Out '11/12". Two years in a row I won prizes for being the youngest member to attend back when I a 14/15 year old noob to the boards. I had to take Trax both times and my mom picked me up from the station. Good times. Can't for the life of me remember what said prizes were, but I felt special.

I'm 21 now.
 
Actual Age: 30

Age I usually act: 15

I've really tried to ease up on the toilet humor, gay jokes, and cheap one-liners, but I just can't help myself. My wife has always said that it will be my downfall, so we'll see. I really don't see any reason to act my age, you know?
 
i'm the same age as a lot of you guys - 27

people are kind of shocked when I tell them my age cause I look a lot younger

Us Canadians are a friendly folk, nothing to be embarrassed about other than our extreme fear of the dark.

So says the Canadian. Hmmmm. . . . got any teabaggers up there? Actually one of my relatives circa the American Revolution was a spy for the Crown and his descendents are mostly in Canada. A lot of loyalist just moved up there. Not that Canada has a worse record on treatment of the Indians than the States, but I've been watching a movie from the set "Chiefs", theTrial of Poundmaker. After watch Susanna of the Mounties about a hundred times, this documentary is interesting for counterpoint.

Lyndon LaRouche, whose parents came south from Canada to Maine, is promoting NAWAPA, a part of a plan to ncrease the global biosphere and improve the conditions necessary for human survival here on planet Earth, to gather water from the great continental Northwest, the major north-flowing rivers and divert a fifth of it all down along the continental spine into the Great Basin, Southwest and Northwest Mexico, vastly augmenting the water available for agriculture and growth. A lot of big reservoirs on Canadian soil. I wasn't clear why Canadians would go for this, but there would be nuclear power plants for pumping water and a whole lot of good fishing. . . . . not so much for bears or wolves.

I'm not considering moving north. I already had -19F and two feet of snow on the ground. Some water for growing melons in Death Valley sounds like a good idea.

The province/state that I live in (Alberta) is definitely the most conservative of all in Canada (tantamount to Texas) and we have a party called the Wild Rose Alliance that is somewhat similar to the Tea-Party you guys have down South. Mmm I'm not too sure how Americans treated their indigenous people, but Canada's history sure isnt a good one. The state even offers reperations to them to descendants of the sufferers of certain assimilation programs our country ahs run in the past 2 centuries.

We definitely have abundant water supply up here, there are lakes all over the place. Canada really treasures its water supply, and it definitely isnt eager to lose one of its most abundant natural resources in respect to the rest of the world, even though our population maybe makes up a tenth of the US alone. Im all for spreading water to areas of need, but thats just the leftism in me.

-19F? Thats t-shirt weather. We hit -59 degrees Celsius last winter, Edmonton was colder than every other place in the world (including Siberia, Antarctica) for that day. not sure what the fahrenheit conversion would be.

(minus 18 F is the same as minus 18 C. Minus 59 C would be close to minus 100F and that would not be far from a world record temp like some high altitude Antarctic or Greenland site would call cold.) I am indeed wrong here. I might have been a bit groggy at 8 AM and messed up a mental calculation. By my definitions of things, this constitutes lying to myself and believing the lie and really needing some help to get things right sometimes, like human beings generally need a bit of help once in a while.

There were a lot of "half-breeds" in Canada from the French and British trapping folks who lived with and traded with the natives and by now I'd guess most Canadians have some native roots. The report of public and government recognition of past wrongs up there is indeed encouraging.

Most Americans are ignorant of Chief Joseph's year-long "run" to evade consignment of his band to a reservation. He was intercepted by General Miles just short of the Canadian border. Sitting Bull and his band took refuge in Canada for a few years under the protection of a sympathetic Irish mountie while the US government put pressure on the Canadian Prime Minister. The histories of the Cherokee and Blackhawk people being driven to reservations in Oklahoma, and the Navajo "trail of tears" under the cruelties of Kit Carson, and the dishonorable breaking of virtually every treaty ever negotiated with our native bands hardly gets any notice in our history.

As for the water, we can't get our Columbia River Basin folks to agree to interbasin transfers, or our Californians to permit emplacing an offshore water well field north of San Diego or a pipeline to the Salton Sea to supply a desal plant there large enough to replace all the water California, Nevada and Arizona take out of the Colorado, which would enable Utah, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico to use more of the river water.

Instead, folks like Harry Reid are intending to mine all the water in the Great Basin to supply the Las Vegas Strip casino resorts and enable that city to support larger slave labor imports for changing the bedsheets of all the tourists who come to be scalped at the game tables.

The formulas for converting between degree Celsius and degree Fahrenheit are:

°F = (°C * 9/5) + 32
°C = (°F - 32) * 5/9

To find the temperature when both are equal, we use an old algebra trick and just set ºF = ºC and solve one of the equations.

°C = (°C * 9/5) + 32
°C - (°C * 9/5) = 32
-4/5 * °C = 32
°C = -32 * 5/4
°C = -40

°F = (°F * 9/5) + 32
°F - (°F * 9/5) = 32
-4/5 * °F = 32
°F = -32 * 5/4
°F = -40

So the temperature when both the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are the same is -40 degrees.
