Jesus, would you Yanks just start using a seinsible scale of measuring heat? What the hell is the Fareinheit scale even based on?

Ummm.... I have no idea.

All I know is 32 = freezing water and 451 = burning paper.

Yeah, that was my best guess.

Also a lovely musky smelling aftershave/eau de toilette by Christian Dior

Here's one. What brand, if any, do you use to make yourself sweet smelling and gorgeous like myself?

Acqua di Gio by Armani. Citrusy and light, with almost no woody or musky tones.
