Oh man, our hearts go out to anyone who ends up fielding the unfortunate fail that can come as a result of failing to convert that dang celsius to fahrenheit. This dude's heart was absolutely in the right place, but it was all futile because they didn't make that dang conversion. Oh well, the lesson was learned, and we all get to enjoy the fail that resulted from the situation.
