"Summit fever had developed in that group," he said. "There was a chemistry in there that meant they were going for the summit no matter what ... They were all driving each other on. These people came together and because of the place and the atmosphere and their personalities, they became blinkered and simply focused on the top. There was no careful awareness in the group and the most dangerous thing about groups is that everyone hands over responsibility for themselves to someone else ... It means that no one is taking responsibility. There can be a false sense of strength in numbers, but it doesn't matter how big your group is - you can have 1,000 people and the mountain could still kill them all."
What is a fever in Fahrenheit?

Do Fentanyl patches reduce fever?
No - in fact, if you're running a fever, you should remove the patch anyway. Increased body/skin temperature increases the dosage delivery rate through the skin, and if you're not careful or aware, you could easily wind up with a fentanyl overdose, or worse.
The biggest indication is you'll start feeling disoriented and confused - get the patch off and get cooled down as fast as possible if that occurs.

Can alcohol lead to hyperthermia?
Yes it can, in days gone by it was considered to help people who were suffering from exposure to administer strong drink. The St. Bernard with a Brandy Keg for instance. We now know that it is the worst thing you can do. When your body begins to cool due to exposure a survival device is triggered to shut down the blood supply to the extremities and with draw to the body core to protect the vital organs. Alcohol will over-ride this action and whilst the sufferer may feel warmer, and certainly feel better, it is momentary, and is likely to cause greater damage or even Death.

- Something that was funny but isn't funny anymore (from answers.com)
- Something that is funny only because someone else finds it funny (from urbandictionary)
- Funny items from newspapers e.g. typos
- A musician/band (see Myspace and Facebook)

Why doesn't the USA use the metric system?
Well USA doesn't use the metric system because of 2 reasons. 1. They are used to using the customary system (but they use the metric system often) Example: A liter of Coca Cola. 2. Money issues. (If USA were to switch to the metric system they would have to use a lot of money to change signs and maybe even instead of putting miles in cars kilometers). By the way I think we are the only country that uses metric system all over the world.(I think some people use it in Canada but I don't know) If interested about more ask more questions and I will try to answer them as soon as possible.

Those may be right answers, I don't know much. But, I DO know that we also don't use the metric system. Because, since we hated the British we didn't want to be like them. They use the metric system because it seemed easier, well, 100 cm = 1 m. And 100oC is Boiling point - things like that. Why we hated the British? That's a question for Social Studies!
