LOL: Weekend Weather 'Neared Boiling Point'

I heard there's about to be a job opening in the title-writing department.

Sensational headlines: sometimes reporters go too far. Or are just f***ing idiots. "Like you." Yes, like me. Granted the boiling point of water IS 100°, it's just 100° Celsius AND NOT FAHRENHEIT (212°). Although, to the writer's credit, they never actually stated they were referring to the boiling point of water. They may have meant the boiling point of ethyl bromide, which is 101° Fahrenheit. Oh of course, ethyl bromide, God I'm so embarrassed now.

Thanks to seacow, who -- can I call you dugong?
