A: Metaphysically speaking, who really has the right to set a baseline for determining the temperature? I'm not here to replace God with science. In the good old days, science people like you were burned at the stake.

A: The word "monsoon" comes from the Arabic word "mons," which means "Bob is hot," and "oon," which means "so, it doesn't matter if Bob doesn't know jack about weather." Thank you for your erudite question.
