89 degrees thats nearly a right angle.
... if you mean celcius then im surprised.

No I translated it to that antiquated unit of measurement they use in America.
Fahrenheit! You know like silly measurements like feet, inches, ponds and stones.
They have yet to learn what metric is. It's what all the cool things are made to, Like LEGO.

Well, hardly any of us do, but I do.

well maybe one day that will change. I know start a political movement to
bring metric to the USA.

Yeah but at least they didn't try and build a rocket with one stage in
metric and one in imperial. Like they did at woomera. Then they had
to have 2 sets of tools to assemble it. Plus other problems. Go the Bluestreak.
