The GLoP crew celebrates America’s 250th birthday the only way they know how: by trying to name five movies that explain the country and somehow ending up in a ditch full of Fire Birds, Paper Moon, The Best Years of Our Lives, the mayor from Jaws, Mel Brooks at 100, Gila monsters, late-stage capitalism, early-stage diarrhea, and the eternal question of whether this is still technically a pop-culture podcast. It’s patriotic, digressive, occasionally disgusting, and probably more grateful for Western civilization than Western civilization deserves.

Converting Celsius to Farenheit really isn't that hard: subtract two, multiply by two, and add 30. I love not using the metric system and think it's stupid, but Americans should make a point of memorizing the approximate equivalents just as a matter of cultural literacy.
