As you have it, when you have black, you will have white, when you have positive, you will have negative. And so, when we have Fahrenheit 9.11, we will have Celsius 41.11, the temperature the brain boils. http://www.citizensunited-interactive.org/C41.11/

After quite some time laying low for a while, I am back. Since my last post, quite a few changes have happened. I am now married, my house has OC already, and I am going to US for two months for assignment.
