Tell that to the French! 10,000 dead - just unbelievable, hey?NAD said:Yeah, it's like you damn Europeans calling a few 90 degree days a "heat wave."
Oh it's remarkable how the human species differs based on your ancestral bloodline. Put it this way, somebody from a middle-eastern, African, or perhaps Asian gene pool can tolerate heat much better than a North European, and more importantly, go without water intake for much longer too.NAD said:Yeah, that's right. 40 C = 104 F, which isn't terribly hot, but when you're not used to it I'm sure it is. Just more proof that the human species isn't adaptable I suppose.
