quicko: measurement

I'm very proud that I am finally getting a handle on the metric system, by which I mean I know 68 Fahrenheit is 20 Celsius and 86 Fahrenheit is 30 Celsius.

So it's not much, but it's a start. (And many thanks to Emily for teaching me my handy conversion rule.) Shortly after I got here I overheard a man say it was 75 out and I nearly went up to introduce myself and thank him for giving me a number I could understand.

The quick run-down: it's Celsius, kilometers and kilos here, unless you're talking height (I'm still 5'8"!).
