Hey,

water boiling point is 100 degrees CELSIUS, not Fahrenheit.

---------------

Alan, this visitor (he or she) can not confirm that the soup boils at 100 degrees Fahrenheit,
since it would be heavily wrong and against physical facts.

So, asking to confirm, you requests tooooo much - he (or she) can only disprove . . .

Couple of days ago, I saw the post in the forum, starting with the words "There are no stupid questions . . . "

    Here is the link

I suspect, that these questions that we (and I, personally) observe at the forum last days, go from the same person.
