‘My old roommate pointed an laser thermometer at a pencil on a table, inside our house. The laser thermometer read “68F.” He exclaimed “this thing is broken!”

‘I asked why he thought it was broken? “This is a pencil. It doesn’t produce any heat. This thermometer should say 0.” I stared at him for a few seconds, unable to collect my jaw off the floor …

“Well 0F would mean it is frozen, or well beyond frozen, so I think 68 is the temperature of the air in the room.” This man was 26 … his two adult brothers were sitting in this room. I was the only one who understood why the thermometer was correct.’
