Because surely nowhere on earth has temps that consistantly hot. Especially not in Autumn.

705410 2008-09-16 05:25:00 What I'm hearing right now...and I cannot quantify this myself...is that the Lehman BK is the single-largest-financial-bankruptcy in the history of the US.

This is gonna roll downhill...even below the horse latitudes. :waughh:
