seeker: What scale is your home thermostat set in?
Normal: What?
seeker: You know, Celsius, or Fahrenheit, or what?
Normal: Fahrenheit, here in America.
seeker: And yours?
Weird: Tapirs per fakir!
seeker: Uh, moving right along, what about yours?
Smart: Electron volts. It seemed simplest.
seeker: That’s, um, energy, not temperature.
