Item #80 in this file reads:

Kelvin is the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units 
(SI). It is also used as a measure of the color temperature of light 
sources. True story: A physicist cooled himself to -273.15C. He was 0K.


The temperature in the last sentence is bogus. "-273.15C" should be 
"273.15 K". 0.0 K is the lowest possible temperature, so it cannot be 
negative. 273.15 K is 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
