Twice 0.5C is twice 273.65K or 547.3K or 274.15C or 525.47F

But that doesn't answer my question about how to measure temperature with a
scale that goes from 100 for freezing to 0 for boiling.

....And for that matter, how does it affect the average airspeed of an
unlaiden swallow?

I've heard that in the US, this is one reason why kerosene (for
heating) and diesel (for driving) are different colors. I understand
you can get into trouble in the US if you're caught using kerosene in
your diesel engine of your vehicle.

....You can, but checking a trucker's gas tanks for kerosene virtually
never happens. The only time anyone ever gets caught is if the trucker
jackknifes his rig and the tanks rupture. Even then, it's usually the
fire department on the scene that notices the difference between
kerosene and diesel, and half the time they're too busy trying to
either put out the fire or keep it from happening to tap the local
yokel or county mountie on the shoulder and go "Uh, Bubba, there's
something you need to look at before you let that trucker go..."

I was amazed at first to learn that, when the temperature and pressure were
right, the chicken picked up very little oil and remained very moist.

....Which is how Colonel Harlan Sanders built his fortune before he
sold out. Kentucky Fried Chicken is nowhere near as good as it was 30
years ago, kids, which is why I haven't eaten there in years.

Ranking right up there with three other great ones:
"Hotter than a whore's pillow."
"Movie critics telling producers how to make movies is like a virgin
telling a whore how to ****."
And my all-time favorite, from my late dad:
"Play ball with me, and I'll shove the bat up your ass..."

Was that a threat or a promise?

The other downside is the more oil, the bigger the potential oil fire.
And we've lost some homes in our town from those cooking oil fires over
the years.

....That's because people in North Dakota have never been explained
that you don't do those erotic Wesson Oil interludes in front of a
raging fireplace.

IIRC the Mayans used a 5-day week.

....Which I once heard a street preacher nutball claim that was proof
that not only were the Mayans not one of the Ten Lost Tribes of
Israel, they obviously didn't believe in God or his ordained day off
for rest and worship.

BTW Who makes/made JP-7?

....JP-7 was developed by Pratt & Whitney, with Shell Oil contributing
a major portion of the R&D facilites. Also, I seem to recall Monsanto
having something to do with the program, but I'm not sure what right
off. Gotta look and see if my old SR-71 notes have anything on that
one.
