Things To Do Before You Die

Lu Xun writes "A group of British scientists has brought some meaning to our lives by providing a list of 100 scientifically-oriented things to do before you die. The suggestions include 'joining the 300 Club at the South Pole (they take a sauna to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, then run naked to the pole in minus 100 F) or learning Choctaw, a language with two past tenses - one for giving information which is definitely true, the other for passing on material taken without checking from someone else.'"

    Fahrenheit degrees are fairly near a reasonably perceptible change in temperature. Celsius ones are too big, so you either have to use half degrees (which most HVAC systems do) or round to a larger granularity.
