That's why when the weather is reported, it's suspiciously always 48 or 49 or 47 degrees, even if it's actually 60. Great country. lol

They should just allow people to run their businesses if the temperature goes above 50 and have actually reliable weather reports. 60°C lol though.. and i start whining at about 30. it's not that i'm hot it's that i sweat really easily. :s

A young kid asks his father, "What is that weird hat you are wearing?" The father says, "Why, it's a 'chechia' because in the desert it protects our heads from the sun." "And what is this type of clothing that you are wearing?" asked the young son. "It's a 'djbellah' because in the desert it is very hot and it protects your body." said the father. The son asked, "And what about these ugly shoes on your feet? His father replied, "These are 'babouches', which keep us from burning our feet when in the desert." "Tell me, Abba?" added the boy. "Yes, my son?" "Why are we living in Dearborn, Michigan and you're still wearing all this crap?"

Just saying, though; amongst the very first people who engaged in civilized practices did so in this torrid heat.

Field Marshal Posts: 15,575 Group: Member Member #40 Joined: January 19, 2008	Yes, that's true, but that's not what I was referring to. For instance, I'm sure most people who live in Minnesota haven't lived there for thousands of years, yet they can probably tolerate the climate better than, say, Floridians.

I live in Canada and we still can't stand the cold as much as anyone else. We're not more tolerant of it. We just realize that it's like this all the time so we stop complaining about it because it's nothing new.

How much of that is psychological? Imo it's all in your head, but the article says that your internal functions change as well. Is that due to the environment itself directly, or your mind?

One of his 1st cousins does also. My friend is a bigger guy, not fat, but his cousin is quite thin. I don't know how but they don't really feel the cold.

No, it's not the same thing as a climate, but I maintain that it really isn't altogether a factor of bodily change than it is just a matter of sucking it up.
