> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > Move in with me. It’s even hotter here, but _I_ have air conditioning. 🆒 Of course, so does my wife. Oh yeah, she won’t mind at all, I’m sure. I have AC in the computer room and in the room I sleep in. Rest of the time I just sweat buckets. Very attractive, of course. ---

I guess that depends on whether they’re well designed buckets. ---

I saw a pic on line today that made me smile- a marquee that said: ‘Satan called-He wants his weather back.’ Certainly true around these parts. ---

When lil bro was in middle school, they had a fireman come talk to them. He claims that said fireman told them that human lungs with vaporize at 140F, a fact he’s repeated over the years. Someone’s confused, right? If it were 140F wouldn’t bakers taking hot things out of ovens drop like flies? ---

I live near DC. We’ve had severe heat advisories for the past week or so almost every day. The Weather Channel predicted the “temp it feels like” today would be 115 degrees F. I spent about 40 min walking around this afternoon. After 20 minutes, I stopped in the grocery store and simply stood around for 20 minutes to cool down. Just sucking up the A/C in the meat counter aisle before I walked the next 20 minutes. Total 60 minutes. Then it got worse, but it doesn’t relate to the temperature. I had to do it. It is freaking hot out here. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/gee-that-does-sound-kinda-hot/589968.md?page=1)
