Fahrenheit (I even had to go and look up the spelling) has completely disappeared. I have absolutely no idea what the weather in Fahrenheit means other than doing some mental arithmetic.
I don't agree. I've found that us Brits tend to use Celsius for cold temperatures and Fahrenheit for warm when discussing the weather (a national past-time). So when its Winter we say its 2 degrees outside, but in the Summer we say wow its 90 degrees and people will know what the weather will feel like. If you told me it was 35 degrees C I would know it would be hot but not how hot. Equally, if you told me it was 20 degrees F I would know it was cold but not how cold.
Surely they just need to hide both sets of numbers so that they can't be seen before you buy?
Then in order to play you have to scratch off both sets of numbers?
Similar thing in New York with Sapporo beer. It says Export on the can but when you read it closely it is made in, and imported, from Canada rather than Japan..... Not quite the same!

Yes I was going to say something similar. My passport is already biometric, it has my photograph on it!
Anyone else notice that the website that posted the story won an award for "Best News Website" at the "Quantas Media Awards 2008"! Suspicious?
