h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Because we're stubborn and 100 degrees sounds like we're tougher than the British in 50 degrees

But the British are never in 50 degrees, we'd die! That's the European all-time temperature record (and it was in Spain).

35 is quite hot enough thankyou very much. Odd that it's actually roughly the same as our body temperature.

I figured that out... I think we've had hotter in Death Valley.

I'm sure you have. Which is why I never plan on visiting it.

Not exactly a major tourist attraction, death valley

No, probably not.
