When health warnings and math don’t go together

Health Warning - Gasoline
Health Warning – Gasoline

I got an email today from a colleague, warning about a poisonous gas called gasoline. Odd in a oil-rich country though.

If you read it, you’ll notice that 15 degrees Fahrenheit is 6 degrees Celcius or 60 degrees Celcius. In reality, 15 degrees Fahrenheit is -9 degrees Celcius. I guess this memo wasn’t really talking about Abu Dhabi’s sunshine.

Let’s assume that you don’t want to open the windows for a while when driving in -9 degrees. And that the gasoline fumes you get while filling up at a petrol station are bit more dangerous (or more fun?) then your average plastic seat covers.

    Hi Michael,

    this one is hilarious 🙂

    though only on thing to blame it on …. negligence and inprofissionality (that makes them two :P)

    P.S., it could be a hoax, just like the ATM thing 🙂

    talk to you soon 🙂

    cheers!
