Actually the tan-lines would be sort of amusing to look at. Pale rectangular areas, haha.

And Sugarini, how is de-frizzed hair going to make cooler? oO My hair isn't long enough to be frizzy, not anymore, anyhow.

That also helps to de-frizz your hair.

You get weirder tanlines from wearing roman gladiator-style sandals that criss-cross all the way up your calves. :roll:

Speaking of tanlines. Remember your sunscreen, people!

Around 4PM is actually the hottest time of the day, because all the sun's rays are radiating back.[/pointless fact and also because she has no clue what's going on above her post]

They're talking about Igg and her friend dressed up as bunnies, with Igg wearing a huge costume and her friend wearing no top.

Regret asking?

36 degrees is almost freezing...

Oh wait. You're using metric temperature. Invented by the French cheese-eating surrender monkeys. [/Simpsons reference]

Anyway, you guys don't know heat until you've moved to Houston. Even in the morning it's at least 95 degrees, and combine that with humidity that's over 50%, and it's really hot and sweaty here. Which sucks because I have to run 6 miles a day, at least.

Running your wrists under cold water helps keep you cool. It also helps to de-frizz your hair. Very good.

De-frizzing your doesn't keep you cool. Running your wrist under water does. Not the other way around. *picky*

Reference or not, Celsius was proposed by a Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius. You guys use German temperature scales. Next you'll be driving German cars. :P

A fellow Houstonian!! I totally CONCUR!! I feels like 120 degrees (Fahrenheit) out here during the day between 9 AM and 9 PM. And then, you get SUPER STICKY and NASTY due to the horrendous humidity. I just rather stay indoors with my AC while playing games online (or browsing forums). I feel like I should go live in a fridge or something. Are there no ice bars in Houston?

Nahh...I'll stick with Japanese cars (which apparently everyone in my family owns). Although, I've always wanted a Volkswagon beetle.

We just had a huge thunderstorm here in St. Louis, and it's knocked out power to about 500,000 people in the metro area - and the temperature today is supposed to top out at 102-103 Degrees on the We Don't Wear Short Shorts Because We're Real Men Scale.

I've turned my air conditioner to about 85, and it feels like a freezer when I come inside.

Totally agree >_< Houston bites with the humidity added in. It gets hot so early here it is insane. I have to be out there from 8am-11pm and 5pm-8pm for band, totally bites.

Stay inside during the hot parts of the day, drink water but don't drink water with a lot of ice in it if you're really hot. Hats are nice, and so are sunglasses :P

Eh, we managed to miss most of that storm... my parents were at the Cardinals game though (two hour and twelve minute delay). Here it made some noise, and rained a little. But we sadly are not missing out on the hot weather. >< It's absolutely awful here. It's not rare for it to be 95 degrees F (35 degrees C) at 9 AM.

German cars are awesome.

New York needs a thunderstorm. It's stifling here.
