On July 19th 2006 it was the hottest July fday in Britian in history i think.....36.5 C Anywho..... so i was in a frekin school with no air con..what so ever due to the fact that it was extremley hot and one boy fainted on the field playing cricket and one boy got sun burnt the school had to let us go early appartntley there is a law saying that:

"Schools should not allow their students/pupils stay in school above 36 C"
In Berlin, all students up to grade 10 used to get free early (after the fourth lesson IIRC) when the temperature was above 25C at 10:00. Our school had the thermometer in an especially cool place, so we got "heat-free" much less frequently than some other schools.

I just heard last night that it was 118F here yesterday.

I don't care if the humidity is 20-25%, that's still hot.

Well I do care, because 94f and 98% humidity is killer compared to 114f in the dry.

I think it has something to do with Greek Mythology.

I am in Bodø, which is north of the arctic circle, not far from the Lofoten islands. Bodø is the second biggest town in Northern Norway with over 40,000 inhabitants, so it's not a remote place, but I have often been for walks where I didn't meet people for hours (if the weather is nice and it's a normal time for a walk, you may not be able to avoid hearing some people or seeing them in a distance). It rarely gets above 25C here.

Nobody. It's just a lot more enjoyable to be out in the nature if there's nobody else around.

But there are so many types of popsicles. How can you dislike the entire category?

Well, maybe there are some I would like. I am not entirely sure what's called a popsicle and what isn't.

I think it's a popsicle if it's:

1) Frozen
2) On a stick
3) Somehow water/juice/fruit based, rather than dairy based

3) was what I wasn't sure about. If it had included dairy based ice cream, there would be many popsicles I like. That water/juice/fruit based stuff ranges from disgusting to okay, but I wouldn't buy one.

I think whoever told you about that law was pulling your leg unless you can find a link to prove?
Well i must admit you cannot keep a child listening to how Crude Oil is extracted in a science room with no blinds!
plus in a computer room when it wazs about 2 or 3 degrees away from exploding!
