ok. when I was young we would travel to visit my Grandad. We passed sugar mills, car factories, and other large buildings along the way.
well, listening to the radio weather updates in the car I always thought they said the tempeture at "the windshield factory" is such and such degrees. I figured that was a place we passed on the way to Grandads. I was 16/17 before I ever figured out they were saying "THE WIND CHILL FACTOR" DOH!
