    230 degrees?!?! That's freakin' insane.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    That is pretty hot.

    Hottest location on the earth only gets into the 50's C.

    Hay! I thought about maybe starting training today for next year's competition since it's 95-F here and way muggy. Then, I realized that my 95 is only about 35-C and that while it is indeed muggy (miserable!) here, I don't have some idiot near me throwin' water on a seering iron every 30 seconds AND 35-C is a far cry from 110-C!!

    So...can you say these guys are pretty stoopid? Well, one of 'em anyway, since the other is dead!

    Saunas that boil people...now there is an IDEA! Definitely a Genius award for sure! Maybe they're training for the first manned landing to Venus?

    I hope they stuffed them with apples and cranberries before they went in there.
